The Heart Of The Matter four-piece also retweeted CALM and TOPMAN's #DontBottleItUp video featuring Love Island's Chris Hughes, which parodies male fragrance ads to convey its powerful message.

Watch it here:

The #DontBottleItUp campaign aims to highlight how men across the UK often bottle up their emotions at the expense of their mental health.

It comes as new research by CALM shows that 84% of men in the UK say they bottle up their emotions with nearly half saying they suppress their emotions often or at least once day.
