Duchovny enters sex addiction clinic

David Duchovny has admitted himself to a rehabilitation centre seeking treatment for sex addiction.

The X-Files star, who has two children with wife Tea Leoni, said in a statement: "I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

Duchovny will return to US TV next month for the second season of Showtime's Californication, in which he plays philandering novelist Hank Moody.

Earlier in the summer he reprised his role as Fox Mulder in The X-Files sequel I Want To Believe.
