Professor Green has opened up about the death of his father six years ago, and how the grief still upsets him.

The 31-year-old rapper - real name Stephen Manderson - told his father he hated him when they last spoke and sadly, a few months later his father was dead, after commiting suicide.

Speaking during the BBC’s Lifeline series, Professor Green said: "He was always in and out of my life; at 18 we stopped talking and after five years I decided to reach out to try and arrange a meeting.

"Unfortunately we ended up arguing and the last words I said to him were 'I hate you'.

"The terrible thing is I never got to see him again because a few months later he killed himself."

"I kept wondering why no one had seen it coming. I still find it quite difficult to articulate how I felt"

"It's been six years since it happened and the weird thing about grieving is it never stops."

Professor Green was speaking out to help promote CALM, a charity aimed at prevent male suicide in the UK.
