Former X Factor star Myles Stephenson, who was a member of boyband Rak-Su, revealed he was living 'paycheque to paycheque' as he battled a gambling addiction.

Speaking to the Mail Online in October last year, the star said during his college years he was in a 'dark place' put himself into debt and asked a friend to lend him £800 after he blew all of his wages in the betting shop.

Myles said: "It was because of the gambling that I was living paycheque to paycheque. I was at the bookies with one of my friends, I lost all my money and I asked him for £800.

And it wasn't just to get by, it was to do more gambling. And I think I done an extra £100 in the bookies at the time, then went home and blew the other £700 on online slots," he added.
