Former X Factor contestant Jahméne Douglas has posted a statement on Twitter detailing his suicidal thoughts and 'inner battle.'

Last night the singer shared a picture of a written message, which began: "I don’t know what to do any more. My mind is plagued with suicidal thoughts whenever my defences are down. I feel so broken, lost and worthless. It doesn't seem to matter how much I try to fix myself, who I talk to or what I put in place it always comes back to this."

He mentions that he doesn't feel like he deserves 'love of happiness' and explains he feels like "the devil is inside my head."

He also writes about his brother’s suicide, saying: "When my brother killed himself I analysed it over and over. Now I am here..."

A number of fans have left messages of concern and support.

X Factor winner, James Arthur has reached out to Jahmene, writing: "Brother I'm here for you. Answer your phone. I know what you're going through. Pick up. "
