How Will Young's addiction to porn, booze and shopping drove him to the brink of madness

mirror.co.uk:

Since winning Pop Idol in 2002, Will Young has enjoyed a glittering career. He's had four number one UK albums, sold 10 million records, won two Brit Awards and a Laurence Olivier Award for his role in Cabaret.

But behind the success, Will has suffered a huge amount of pain. Will has battled addictions to porn, booze and shopping that saw him splash £5,000 on clothes in Selfridges he would never wear.

He began seeing a therapist in 2004 after struggling to cope with the pressure of fame. Will believes his problems stemmed from watching his twin brother being given special medical help 10 minutes after he was born.
