Joe Jonas saved my life: Sophie Turner

Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner tells her singer Joe Jonas, her husband, saved her life after years of fighting mental health and body image.

In an interview with the Sunday Times, the actress said that she had met Jonas at the age of 20 and that she was very mentally ill.
