Frank's out of clinic
By AMANDA CABLE
BOXING hero Frank Bruno goes home this weekend after his spell in hospital.
Frank, 41, is expected to leave a psychiatric clinic tomorrow and go home to continue his fight against mental illness.
The ex-world heavyweight champ was taken to Goodmayes Hospital, Ilford, Essex, last month after being sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
Frank has been helped during his stay in hospital by caring ex-wife Laura.
Next week in The Sun, she reveals for the first time how Frank plunged into despair.
In an exclusive three-part series starting on Monday she talks about the effect on his family and the battle to get him back in shape.
Laura said: “I am telling my story because people need to know how bad it has been for Frank.
“He has had a very tough time and if everyone understands what he has gone through, they can help him get back on his feet.”
Frank was taken to hospital after growing fears about his odd behaviour.
He had a stand-off with police and ambulancemen at his Essex mansion before agreeing to go with them.
