Fascinated with Jacqui Felgate'I come with a lot of labels': Luke Bateman on hitting rock bottom, pashing on TV & BookTok fame
Luke Bateman is one of the most recognisable and surprising faces of BookTok... but long before he went viral online, Luke was a professional athlete, struggling with a severe gambling addiction, depression and a shame that once forced him to hide his love of reading.
From hitting rock bottom in rehab to finding purpose on his farm and in the BookTok community, Luke shares a deeply vulnerable story about overcoming toxic masculinity and finding himself again. 💕
This conversation explores themes of addiction, recovery & mental health. If you or someone you know is struggling and needs support, please head to the National Gambling Helpline website here or contact the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
