Joe Tracini was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, the son of comedian Joe Pasquale and his second wife, Debbie Pasquale.

Part of my job is working with children who have suicidal ideation, self harm which affects their mental health.Can’t even imagine the thoughts he goes through on a daily basis, but hearing him repeatedly talking about killing himself this early am is worrying!

Even if today isn’t what I needed or wanted or expected, if I can just get through today, tonight I’ll have another chance at tomorrow. He is supremely polite, slightly geeky and wears T-shirts that show off his elaborately tattooed arms (and disguise his self-harm scars). Hollyoaks star, mental health campaigner and all-round legend Joe Tracini has announced he’s written a book titled ‘Ten Things I Hate About Me’.His theatre credits include Spamalot, starring in the role of Patsy during a touring version of the production in 2015. The exit scenes saw a pregnant Hayley bow out of Weatherfield with love interest Lloyd Mullaney during the soap's live episode last year. Tamaddon, who played Andrea Beckett in the ITV soap, was first linked with Tracini last year, before they later went public at Georgia May Foote 's birthday party.

Of course, you’re going to worry about the one you love and how it hurts everytime you’ve got to leave. I’ll start by saying that this book is a very heavy read, and as Joe points out, if you’re not ready to read this book or easily triggered then please don’t read it.Its strange how something simple like words and beauty can hold us, i need more of these, Joe has said in his book the down right straight forword speaking of how it is in his world and how to hold on and keep moving forward through the darkest and strangest of times. Alongside wacky dance tutorials delivered in outlandish skimpies, the videos focus on Tracini’s main challenge in life – how not to kill himself.
