British heavyweight boxer Audley Harrison has revealed that he used to "escape" by taking drugs, including cocaine.
The 42-year-old, who is currently in the Celebrity Big Brother house for the Channel 5 show, has revealed that he once succumbed to those "vices".
Harrison told the Daily Star: "I've done the drinking, the crime, the drugs. We all lose control sometimes and I lost control. Some of those vices allowed me to go mad and they were my crutch. It was an escape."
The sportsman, who won Olympic gold for Great Britain at the Sydney Games in 2000, has also revealed that he started gambling at the age of nine.
