March 12. 2025 – The funnyman, who played Nigel Norman Fletcher in the 2016 Porridge reboot, has been off the booze for six years after his drinking got out of control. “I’ve got an allergy to alcohol. “If I went for a pint with an actor in Covent Garden, I would then go on the missing list.”
The former Grange Hill star – who also fronted his own Channel 4 sketch show – admitted going sober also cost him his 22-year marriage as his now ex-wife “lost her drinking buddy”.The actor split from his wife Casta, the mother of his two children, shortly after he got sober.
And he admits his ex-partner hindered his first bid to kick the booze, telling We’re Not Getting Any Younger podcast: “I managed to do five years of complete sobriety, and I loved my life, and then my wife missed her drinking buddy and encouraged me to drink again, she said I wasn’t an alcoholic.
“Then within 21 months everything fell apart.”
