British TV and radio presenter Fearne Cotton has been named an official ambassador for the mental health charity Mind.

Cotton is the author of a new book, HAPPY, which aims to 'help break the taboo around mental health', and commented 'I hope that by speaking out about the challenges I faced it might just help others going through similar experiences. I am absolutely delighted to be joining Mind and helping the charity to raise awareness of the many ways that people can build their own resilience and maintain good mental wellbeing'.
