Calum Best vows to check into rehab

Calum Best has vowed to check into a rehabilitation clinic for alcohol and drug addiction so that he doesn't end up like his father.

Calum, the son of legendary footballer George Best, told The Sun that he feared dying a lonely old man.

Best was recently photographed in a hotel room with two prostitutes, taking cocaine and using sex toys.

He told the newspaper: "I’m a bad boy. I go out and get drunk, I get high on cocaine and I do stupid debauched things with the wrong women.

"I’ve been sowing my oats for years, and I’ve been doing drugs for the past six years. I do drink too much and it gets out of control. The drink leads to the coke and the coke leads to debauchery — the wrong people and places.

"When I’m high I do wild, stupid s**t. I’m a red-blooded male and I’m addicted to sex.

"I don’t have to be like Dad, but I feel his blood running through my veins. I need to sort out my problems before it’s too late."
