"In case you're wondering. Or if you're not. The past few years have been a bit grim. For me, I mean. Illnesses, couldn't work. Not wanted anyway!? Tech blind. Lost enthusiasm. But I am still here. Still, so many people are a lot worse," he wrote to his followers.

Bill's tweet, which he sent on Monday, was the first time he's used his social media account since January, but he also posted on the platform in June 2021 to share he'd suffered from lithium poisoning that left him "nigh on comatose" for almost a year.
At the time, he said he's been: "Depressed or asleep. Scaring my family and myself. No joy and no hope."
Bill Oddie has been a stalwart on TV screens for years
Bill's lithium poisoning first occurred in the summer of 2020, when he said on Twitter: "Just so you know, I have been very ill most of this summer. Lithium toxicity. Almost fatal!
"I am still here but very confused about most things! But then aren't many of us. IT fuddles my brain. Confusion. Will I return? I really dunno. I do hope so. Please wish me luck."
