Mark Owen has decided he needs more of a reason for his cheating behaviour than he just couldn't keep it in his pants. And that convenient reason is an alcohol addiction...

You'll have to forgive us for being a bit harsh on Marky but we're getting more than a little fed up of all these celebrity men who can't be content and happy with what they've got. Cheating on your wife is bad enough, but when there are kids involved too, well that's just foolish.

But anywho, back to the man at hand. Mark has decided to get advice from his former Take That band member, Robbie Willaims. Possibly not the best influence to have?

Mark confessed to the Sun that he has been secretly fighting a serious drink problem for over ten years. Come on, he's a celebrity, these things NEVER stay secret.

The singer's wife Emma was pictured returning with Mark to the family home but minus her wedding band...

According to the Sun, Mark is now in therapy as he wife has insisted upon it and she has asked for him to promise he will give up the booze and not let his antics affect their children.

Heavy stuff. Let's hope the couple can work through things...

Mark in action - on stage, not the other thing...
