Former Arsenal and Aston Villa star Paul Merson admits he's suffered a gambling addiction relapse.
In a new ITV documentary set to air next week on, the father-of-three reveals he has once again been gripped by gambling.
Speaking to producers of the show, Merson breaks down and says he is "struggling badly" with life.
He adds: "Life's fallen apart - gambling...I've just completely lost control, I've completely, again. I'm digging a hole - I can't get out of it.
"It's the worst addiction in the world."
He added: "It's so tiring it's unbelievable.
"Mentally draining, just sitting there, thinking where am I going to get more money to do this? It's like...it's literally like a crack addict. It is like a crack addict.
"Exactly like that.
"But, with crack, you couldn't spend that kind of money on crack, it's impossible. Impossible."
