He said: “I reckon in my case it was because I like to be in the outside. I’m by default [going to turn] to drug addiction and alcoholism. I’m not good at sitting with myself.”

Russell was married to Katy from 2010 to 2012. Sources claimed the split was down to the pair’s busy work schedules. Russell went on to marry Laura Gallacher and the couple share two daughters.

Katy announced her pregnancy earlier this week in her music video for ‘Never Worn White’.

She later told fans: “We’re excited and happy. It’s probably the longest secret I’ve ever had to keep. I like to tell you guys everything, but I knew I would tell you in the best way, which was through a piece of music because that’s how I speak to you. That’s how we speak together with each other.”
