Matt, 39, recently opened up on his relationship with fitness, after entering rehab back in 2005 to help tackle his alcoholism.
He told host Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast: ‘Exercise was a big thing for me… when I found it I was completely and utterly addicted to it.
‘It was great because everything about it was positive. And then it became a problem where if I didn’t or something got in the way of it, I was triggered or I became angry or upset.’
He continued: ‘Everything that takes me away from feeling the way I feel is a problem for me because I cannot deal with how I feel, so I will do anything possible to take that away and change the way I feel.’

Matt is to tackle his alcohol addiction battle head on in a new BBC documentary expected to hit TV screens in 2023.
Taking to Instagram earlier this week, the music star posted: ‘Hello everyone my names Matt and I am an Addict.. [sic] I have said that so many times in the last 18 years it has sometimes become my default when I have to introduce myself. You would think after this amount of time in some kind of recovery. (A lot of in and out) I would know how to deal with my head? But that sneaky b*****d still f**ks with me almost daily.

‘I still struggle, a lot at times. I know I’m not alone, and I’m determined to look at how myself and others can learn to live with this…’
Addressing his upcoming programme, he added: ‘In a new doc I’m making, Matt Willis: Addiction and Me, I’m going to be opening up about the past, and my battle with addiction to drugs and alcohol, and how it can still be a daily struggle. It’s incredible to be given such a huge platform as BBC One to talk about ways to help get addicts and families of addicts the help they so desperately need…’
