ADDICTION IS A HORRIBLE ILLNESS

She's a household name and he's a global superstar, but Denise Welch and son Matty Healy have both struggled with addiction.

Now, Denise, who gave up alcohol in 2012, has admitted she feels immense guilt that her son ended up facing the same problems she did, saying, 'I wasn't aware of everything I did when I was drinking, or how the things he'd seen and I'd done had affected him.

Woman's Own takes a look at how they dealt with substance abuse and their own relationship.
