Jones admits to turning to drink

Steve Jones has revealed that he began to drink heavily after giving up cigarettes.

The T4 presenter said he struggled to cope when he quit his 40-a-day habit three years ago.

He told Attitude: "I went through hell for six months. I went to a really dark place. I can’t remember a thing, I was that drunk.

"I thought: 'To take away smoking, Jesus, is there any point going on?' I felt really depressed about it."

The 31-year-old added: "I replaced every cigarette I would have with a tequila shot. I ate and put on weight."

However, he insisted that his health is now better than ever before, saying: "I came out the other side, I got my s**t back together and hit the gym."
