In Matt Willis: Addiction and Me, the documentary explored the potential reasons behind his addiction and spoke to other families, experts, counsellors and support groups to try and understand why some people become alcohol and drug dependent.
He commented: “Whilst I live an amazing life and I am hugely grateful for the opportunities I’ve had, when it comes to my mental health I still find myself battling with the ripple effects of my old addictions.
“I know I’m not alone and I’m determined to discover how others, like myself, can learn to live with this.”
