Matt Willis has opened up about feeling hurt in the early years of his marriage to Emma Willis, admitting he worried he wasn't living up to her standards. The Busted bassist, who married the former Big Brother star in 2008, spoke on his podcast 'On the Mend' about how Emma's achievements drove him to get sober.
During an episode with guest Spencer Matthews, Matt revealed that he felt he was not achieving as much as his wife, which motivated him to 'step his game up'. He stressed there is no competition in their marriage now, but acknowledged the initial struggle affected him deeply after he got sober.
Separately, the 42-year-old musician confessed to being 'massively addicted' to nicotine, having smoked since his early teens. He admitted that despite telling his children vaping was 'stupid', he has been secretly using vapes and snus, which he finds embarrassing.
Matt detailed his attempts to quit, including throwing away his vapes and snus, but relapsed when he found vapes backstage at a Busted gig. However, a recent vocal call for the musical 'Cabaret' made him realise the habit could jeopardise his career, prompting him to vow to quit for good.
