Matt Willis made a shocking admission in his BBC documentary, Fighting Addiction, admitting his wife Emma Willis “wasn’t going to marry” him if he didn’t beat his addiction with alcohol.

During the one-off programme, Matt and Emma gave a rare insight into their lives, sharing what it was like for them when the Busted star went to rehab.

As Matt was driving his his car, he explained he checked into rehab five weeks before his wedding to The Voice presenter.

“I was desperate to get sober for our wedding day,” Matt shared before adding: “We were getting married in five weeks, I got really bad and would wake up and drink all day long.

“I remember getting to a point where I knew she wasn’t going to marry me. It made me go, ‘Oh f***, you need to sort your s*** out’.”

Emma admitted at the time she was “trying to stay positive”, she said: “It was really hard.

“The one person that you want to understand what it’s like for you… can’t and it’s not that they won’t it’s because they physically can’t see past that.”

When discussing that moment together, Matt asked Emma: “What was the worst bit about living with me back in those days?”

She candidly replied: “You were so good at making me think that what I was saying was wrong.

“And one thing that was always in my head, no matter if it was the first time you went to rehab or the last time and that was, ‘Please god just get in the door’.

“When you went to the Providence, I felt like there was quite a lot riding on that one because we were about to get married.”

Despite the couple’s wobbles, once their children arrived, Matt stayed sober for eight years.

However, the singer ended up relapsing when Busted went on tour in 2016.

“At one of our shows someone offered me a line of coke,” Matt recalled. “And I was like, ‘Oh, cocaine wasn’t a problem for me, alcohol was my downfall’.

“Within a month, I was doing six grams, bang, bang, bang on my own, every f***ing day and not coming home until three in the morning.

“I was pretending I was working on an album which I wasn’t really writing, I was making s*** music in the studio doing coke.

“It was straigth back to the shame cycle, the shame of relapse, the shame of letting everybody down the shame of using uncontrollably trying to stop and not being able to.”
