00:00What would be your biggest regret?

00:01It's got to be taking that cocaine when I went and seen Royal Mort.

00:05I've never touched it since.

00:07Yeah, I went to see Scotland. It was quite scary, to be fair.

00:09But luckily enough, my dad sectioned me for 11 days.

00:13You know, I went cold turkey and thought, oof, never again.

00:16So that was quite... I regret that.

00:18You actually thought he was your twin brother,

00:20and that's why you did what you did.

00:23Well, when I was taking that cocaine and the brandy mix,

00:25you know, eventually, I didn't even know about it

00:27because I didn't know a couple of days beforehand

00:29he had shot a cop, I mean, killed someone

00:31and shot a cop in the face.

00:32I didn't even know that until I put the TV on.

00:35I thought, oh, I think I know him.

00:37And then eventually, after a couple of more lines,

00:40then I was like, oh, yeah, he's my off-brother.

00:42I think I need help.

00:44Because I'd been to rehab a few times,

00:46I thought I was a good therapist,

00:47obviously backfired a little bit.

00:49It wasn't until the next morning.

00:51I thought, what did I do yesterday?

00:53I couldn't remember nothing.

00:54And it was only when I put on Sky News

00:56and I just went, oh, F.

00:59And then me phone went straight.

01:01I had about 300 missed calls, 300 texts.

01:04I think the one from me dad,

01:06he got a few guys, police undercover,

01:08to come and pick us up.

01:10And then they took us straight to the nuthouse,

01:13the mental room,

01:16which he did us a favour, to be fair.
