Former Hollyoaks actor Joe Tracini talks about his fight with health issues

The son of renowned comedian Joe Pasquale, Joe Tracini, age 34, sat down with Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond to discuss his experience while living with a borderline personality disorder (BPD).

He explained his issue by saying that people don't really know how to deal with it because it's in his head.

He said that, basically, BPD is a voice in his head that hates everything he does, everything he has ever done, and everything he is ever going to be. He said that it was like living with a school bully in his head.


Joe, who was on the programme to promote his new book "10 Things I Hate About Me," then performed "Grow" for Alison and Dermot, describing it as a song for children. He believes that most of us forget that children will ultimately grow up and may not be content when they do. Joe received a lot of love online.



Joe's candour brought viewers at home to tears, with one commenting, "Tears that are good tears." The interview was quite moving, and all kids should sing your song. The fan, who commented called him, incredible.

"I was brought to tears by you and your song," a third person added.

Dennis Savage was Joe's character on the Hollyoaks soap opera on Channel 4 from 2011 to November 2014.
