Saying it was "exhausting, tiring, all-consuming”, Matt's addiction left "emotional scars on his wife Emma. He said: "I loved her with all my heart but I couldn’t stop … and nothing she could say or do would make me stop.
“She was so focused on keeping me clean that she neglected her care, and I did too.”
Now sharing three children together, Matt admitted that he was nervous to have his eldest daughter watch the documentary.
“It’s going to be really hard to see her dad like that and what her mum had to deal with,” he said. “But I think nothing should be swept under the carpet. We have to be as honest and open as possible.”
