Professor Green to film BBC documentary about suicide

'I Need You Tonight' hitmaker Professor Green has been commissioned by the BBC to make a film about how his father's suicide affected him. 

The star was 24-years-old when his dad took his own life and Green is set to open up about the tragedy in a new documentary, which will also see him meet other families who have gone through similar traumas. 

Speaking about the project, he explained: "When the opportunity to front a BBC documentary on the topic of suicide presented itself I knew it would be a tough subject to tackle... "

"The truth is, suicide is still considered a taboo subject but it shouldn't be. Not only is this a deeply personal journey for me but also I've been fortunate to meet some amazing people along the way with their own incredibly moving stories as well as those who are creating public awareness around the topic of suicide."
