Ex-England cricketer Andrew Flintoff: 'I quit alcohol to deal with depression'

Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff has revealed that he no longer drinks alcohol due to his battle with depression.

The 37-year-old was widely known for his love of a drink during his England playing days, but has admitted during his time in the Australian version of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here that he's "had enough" of booze.

During a recent episode of the reality show, Flintoff told his campmates: "I genuinely thought I had enough of it. I suffer with depression and it doesn't help at all, [you] just hit rock bottom afterwards.

"Life's so much easier with not having any - the things that tend to go wrong are drink fuelled."

Flintoff also revealed that he realised that he suffered with mental illness while working on a documentary about depression in sport.
