"The over work came first, no holidays, no taking a break and eventually you snap and try to replace it with something and in my place it was cocaine," he told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on today's This Morning show.
"I was drinking two bottles of vodka a day and doing 10 grams of coke," he said leaving Holly visibly shocked.
Around that time Tony decided to get a toxicology report on the cocaine he was taking.
The results showed it was 5 per cent cocaine and the rest of it was cut glass and human faeces.

"A lot of people get into drugs because they come off after all this adrenaline," he explained about the buzz of being a stand-up comedian.
Tony, who also starred in the 1992 hit film Peter's Friends, said that in 1999 he threw a Millennium party in a London warehouse.
"The police came by and told me to stop throwing everything into the Thames because I chucked all my furniture into the Thames," he said of the wild party.

He also revealed that during his expensive coke habit he had no concept of money.
"My mum found £160,000 cheques all scrunched up in the back of my sofa," he said.
Tony has since been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and is now working again and going back to the Edinburgh fringe.
