hiatus but here I am, again,” Vidgen wrote in a deeply personal update.

“This is now my 7th rehab admission. That sentence fills me with so much embarrassment but at the same time I’m trying to tap into the strength that people tell it takes to keep trying.“This relapse was a really sad one as I feel like (I) lost contact with most of my friends and pushed away the people I loved.

“I left like there was not much hope for me.“It fills me with compassion for people who don’t have the resources to just check in to a rehab when they need it.”

Vigen, now aged 28, has previously been applauded for his openness when speaking about the battles of addiction and advocating for better support for sufferers. “I’m scared for the future,” he wrote.

“I have a situation coming up in the next couple months that’s been lingering for the last 5 years. Something that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy.

“I’ve been so terrified but it’s time I step into my strength and my truth.“As a victim of ******* abuse I will get through this. Alive.“I love you all. Jack x,” he wrote.
