I’M A CELEBRITY’S Seann Walsh has opened up about his struggle with sobriety – blaming it on being raised by a drug-addicted father.
The stand-up comedian was a late addition to the ITV series alongside Matt Hancock, and has declared he wants the show to “draw a line” over the Strictly kiss scandal that derailed his career.
He credits the situation for him hitting “rock bottom” and, as he prepares to become a dad for the first time himself, he’s turned his life around, dealing with his reliance on alcohol and his prior life choices.
According to The Mirror, he said: “This idea of structure in my life, this was one of the things I had to grapple with, after the Strictly stuff, you kind of realise that life couldn’t continue the way it was. Something had to give.
“The booze had to go and I had to try to rebuild my life and I went to therapy and therapy was about trying to find order and structure and all this stuff.”
