Matt Willis’ ‘firm telling off’ from wife Emma as he reflects on ‘shambles’ decision

After overcoming his previous struggles with drink and drug addiction, Matthew Willis has revealed what he does every day.

The Busted actor, who is married to television host Emma Willis, has spent more than five years in recovery after four rehab sessions and a few repeats along the way.

The 41-year-old explained how his new mindset and distractions keep him on track despite his current fears of relapse in his life as he addressed his journey to a better stage of life.

As part of the changes he’s made, he’s removed booze from his tour rider, in favour of much healthier options, such as collagen, protein and fruit.

In his home life, the father-of-three said he is also a lover of daily ice baths and meditation, but has had “a telling off” about how long he takes to get ready for the day.

Because my morning routine was getting a little too stale, I had to have a firm telling off. It was literally four hours long, it was ridiculous,” he admitted.

Mattt continued to state that he would awaken at 4 in the morning. 30am to fit in many ice baths, meditation, a workout, an update in his gratitude Journal, a sauna session, followed by a supplement routine.

Speaking on The Life Of Bryony podcast, the Busted star expressed how much better he feels post-addiction, adding: “Life is pretty awesome right now. You know, and that’s achievable for people.

“And I think it’s how you get that message to the struggling addict, the struggling alcoholic, you know. And I believe that, in some ways, was what inspired me to do it. “

While in a much better head space, the singer did, however, admit that it’s “a very scary life outside of recovery”.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely free of drugs and alcohol, just like I don’t think about them every day and don’t try my hardest to avoid drinking and using them.

However, he said, “I am very aware that I am only one drink away from returning to where I was.” “I do see things in myself that irritate me occasionally, and work for me is tied to all of that. “

Matt has frequently attributed his steadfast wife to helping him through his difficulties. A month before their wedding, he finally checked into rehab after she repeatedly demanded that he get clean.

The singer then relapsed again before getting clean following the birth of the couple’s first child together, Isabelle, in 2009.

“I got sober, and then after a series of shambles and misery, I actually got sober when my daughter was about six months old,” he shared.

“And then I had eight years [drink and drug free],” Matt explained, before relapsing again on tour.

Matt recently told The Guardian: “We care about each other and they care about me. We care about them.

They are aware of what I want, what I don’t want, what I can do, and what I’m not going to do. ”
