Speaking on this morning's Joe Finnegan show, Francis explained how the saint has helped him.

He said: "He would have helped me. I suffer from depression, and when I went to his tomb for the first four years ago, I got a tour.

"I had a very big experience, the tears ran down my face, my friends with me were taken aback. I could feel the heat coming into my body.

"I still have to watch myself, I still get depression, but not as bad, so I'm very thankful to Carlo for that," he added.
