Matt Willis revealed he watched his emotional BBC documentary with his eldest daughter as he believes she’s ‘old enough’ to know about alcoholism.
The Busted singer opens up on addiction aired in his latest documentary and it details the musician’s struggles with substance abuse, along with the strain it put on his relationship.
Matt checked into rehab four times in the last two decades and last relapsed in 2016 during Busted’s reunion tour.

‘She’s almost 14, I thought she’s old enough to know about alcoholism and addiction.
‘We watched it together and she had the most incredible questions, I was blown away by her reaction to it. I thought it was important as her friends or parents at school might watch it so I wanted to preempt her with that.’
Matt previously admitted he was addicted to the class-A drug cocaine while his youngest child, Trixie, was 10 months old.

The star said in the new documentary: ‘After one of our shows, someone offered me a line of coke, and I was like, ‘Oh, cocaine wasn’t a problem for me, alcohol was my downfall.
‘Within a month I was doing six grams on my own every f**king day and not coming home until three in the morning pretending I was working on an album, which I wasn’t really writing, I was making s**t music in the studio doing coke.’
Matt also opened up to The Guardian about how his struggles affected Emma and said: ‘I was the mastermind at gaslighting, making her think she was crazy.
The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One.
‘I was blown away by her reaction to it.’
