Busted star Matt Willis has shared his experiences with rehab, revealing he went "for other people". The 40 year old musician, who shot to fame as part of the noughties pop punk band Busted, has previously spoken about his struggles with drugs and alcohol, and believes he's still on his "recovery" journey.

Speaking to Times Radio, Matt said: "I mean, I've had many, many people sit me down over the years and say, 'Matt, I think you've got a problem'.

And I just brushed it off, I wasn't ready to hear it." "I went to rehab three times for other people, kind of like because at one point, my record company were going to drop me because I wasn't doing what I was supposed to be doing." He also revealed that his now wife, TV presenter Emma Willis, threatened to "leave" before he decided to enter a treatment centre to "stay out of trouble".

The singer also confessed to being a "master manipulator" and "constantly lying" during his battle with addiction. Matt added: "It wasn't till I was about to get married and I kind of realised that I was not going to be able to be there, or I was going to be there and just an absolute mess and let everyone down." "I was trying desperately to stay sober and I just couldn't make it to 12pm I just (would) wake up in the morning (and) I couldn't get to 12pm, I just (would) try really hard but I just, I couldn't, I couldn't do it.
