This is truly a brilliant episode.

Cormac, who you may know from Love Island, or from his fitness journey on Instagram, opens up about his addictions and how they nearly killed him.

He talks about how he faked being well to go on Love Island and why he thinks now he shouldn't have been there.

He opens up about his relapses and what it took to get to seek help.

Truly inspiring, and also hopeful, to show there is help out there and light at the end of the tunnel.
