Will Young was addicted to porn

Will Young has revealed that he was addicted to porn.

The 33-year-old singer opened up to Style about his emotions and addictions.

“Addictions can be anything. Last year I moved into my new house, my album went to number one and I was miserable. And it doesn’t even help when you have loads of money,” he said.

“I’d buy houses and get nothing from it. Bought cars – got nothing from it. I’ve gone out and spent £5,000 in Selfridges – and nothing. I don’t even wear the stuff. All those things I thought would bring me happiness, don’t.

“It never moved into sex addiction. For me, it was love addiction and fantasy. I was probably addicted to porn. Yeah, I have [the safe search browser now].

“But I’m always scared of commitment. I was basically traumatized in relationships. I’ve been single for five years. It’s five, I’ve got some serious s**t to sort out. There’s no way I could have a relationship.

“It’s been horrendous. I had to go – and wanted to go – on pills. My second time. The first time I wasn’t so aware.

“It got to the stage last year where I thought I was on top of work, that I’d find a boyfriend and everything would be all right. But something was going wrong.

“What I’ve realized is that growing up knowing I was gay from a young age, I always felt extremely ashamed. It’s a cliche but it’s true.

“I’ve only just realized how s**t that’s made me feel about myself for a very, very long time.”
