A LOVE Island hunk has called himself a ‘borderline crackhead’ after beating a secret drink and drug addiction after the villa.
The reality star shot to fame on the fifth series of the ITV2 dating show in 2019 and fell madly in love with Jourdan Rianne.
But now Danny Williams has opened up on his struggle, as he got candid with fans on social media.
The northern lad wrote a lengthy statement, telling his 388,000 followers that he’d gone two years without alcohol.
Danny shared: “For those that don’t know, I was a borderline crackhead for many years.
“Long story short I covered my pain with drink and substances because I wasn’t ready to face my own demons.”
Danny continued: “Instead of constantly avoiding discomfort I’m facing it every single day BY CHOICE and becoming a better human, partner, son and future father because of it.
“I know that it’s ‘socially acceptable’ to drink.
“And I’m not here to say that anyone else needs to cut it out of their life completely either.
“But running away from discomfort because it doesn’t ‘feel nice’ in the moment is the fastest way to eliminate your self esteem and completely feel inadequate in life.”
Danny went on to tell fans that “taking control of your fears” would “set you free.”
He then went on to promote his eight week Summer Sculpt Challenge, where he’ll help people "step into their full potential.”
Danny can be found promoting his fitness and health journey on social media.
And he also shares regular snaps with his stunning girlfriend Beckie Hughes.
The reality hunk appears to have settled down after looking for love on Love Island.
After Jourdan entered Casa Amor on day 26, the actress caught the eyes of Danny, and they coupled up shortly after.
Ten days later the pair received the fewest votes from the public and were booted off the show.
The former couple made a go of things back in the UK and even moved in together, but a month later went their separate ways after a cheating scandal.
Then two years later, The Sun revealed that Danny was seeing someone new.
He was dating Leah Taylor, who went on to star on Love Island herself.
Danny has now moved on with brunette beauty Beckie, and appeared smitten in February as he shared photos from their date night in Dubai.
