Will Young
Will Young was addicted to porn.
The gay singer admits he isn't in the right emotional state to be in a relationship because he has been so unhappy, but couldn't help himself from looking at x-rated videos online.
He said: 'Addictions can be anything. Last year I moved into my new house, my album went to number one and I was miserable. And it doesn't even help when you have loads of money.
'I'd buy houses and get nothing from it. Bought cars - got nothing from it. I've gone out and spent £5,000 in Selfridges - and nothing. I don't even wear the stuff. All those things I thought would bring me happiness, don't.
'It never moved into sex addiction. For me, it was love addiction and fantasy. I was probably addicted to porn. Yeah, I have [the safe search browser now].
'But I'm always scared of commitment. I was basically traumatised in relationships. I've been single for five years. It's five, I've got some serious s**t to sort out. There's no way I could have a relationship.'
The 'Jealousy' hitmaker admits the last 12 months have been 'horrendous' because he has been in the grips of depression.
He told Style magazine: 'It's been horrendous. I had to go - and wanted to go - on pills. My second time. The first time I wasn't so aware.
'It got to the stage last year where I thought I was on top of work, that I'd find a boyfriend and everything would be all right. But something was going wrong.'
Will thinks his problems stem from the 'shame' he has felt about being gay.
He explained: 'What I've realised is that growing up knowing I was gay from a young age, I always felt extremely ashamed. It's a cliche but it's true.
'I've only just realised how s**t that's made me feel about myself for a very, very long time.'
