A fresh Channel 4 documentary witnesses actor and comedian Johnny Vegas frankly discussing his professional uncertainties, even confessing to feeling "like a fraud" at times.

The Benidorm performer takes the spotlight in the new two-part series Johnny Vegas: Art, ADHD and Me, which arrives on Channel 4 on Wednesday, 6 August and Thursday, 7 August.

Johnny, whose real name is Michael Pennington, discloses his anxieties surrounding stand-up comedy in the show whilst also tackling his most ambitious artistic endeavour yet as he embarks on creating a public artwork for his home town of St. Helens.

The creative pursuit quickly transforms into a voyage of self-exploration for Johnny, who received his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnosis, commonly referred to as ADHD, when he turned 52.

As his artistic ambitions stumble, the documentary presents a raw dialogue about mental wellbeing and a touching portion about self-understanding, reports the Mirror.

An exclusive preview clip unveiled by Channel 4 demonstrates the reality of Johnny's battles prior to performing a stand-up comedy routine, with the performer witnessed discussing the nervousness he experiences before stepping onto the stage.

Appearing somewhat disheartened, Johnny confides to the camera, stating: "I don't know how I have the career I have. With doing stand-up, with putting yourself front and centre, I'm not... I'm an observer by nature."

He proceeded to acknowledge: "I don't want to be noticed. I feel like a fraud. And you reach that point where you go, 'at what cost to yourself, to your own headspace, to my own mental health?'"

Johnny's latest documentary follows his revelation that reigniting his passion for art and ceramics has significantly aided him in managing his ADHD.

"Ceramics, and art has recently found its way back into my life in a big way," said Johnny, who publicly disclosed his ADHD diagnosis in 2023. "I see beauty in all sorts of shapes."

He also shed light on the realities of living with ADHD, highlighting his struggle to concentrate on one thing at a time.

In an interview with The Times, Johnny described: "ADHD is a bit like being surrounded by butterflies and trying to decide which one to catch.

"So many thoughts and ideas, it becomes white noise. The flipside is if I do lock on to something, I can lose myself for five or six hours."

Johnny Vegas: Art, ADHD and Me airs on Channel 4 at 9pm on Wednesday, 6 August
