Tina Malone Advocates Veterans PTSD Support After Husband's Suicide

Tina Malone, the actress known for Shameless and Brookside, tearfully shared on Good Morning Britain the tragic story of her husband Paul Chase, a decorated army veteran who died by suicide in March 2024 after struggling with severe PTSD.
