The 'Jackass' star has been open about his battle with alcoholism, and he revealed this week he is entering treatment once again, a year after his last stint following an arrest for allegedly driving under the influence.

Taking to social media, he wrote on Instagram: "Off to alcohol rehab for the 3rd time. I am hoping the term 3rd time is a charm is true. (sic)"

In January 2018, Bam revealed he was checking into rehab following his arrest, and joked about life inside the treatment centre.

He said: "Rehab privileges- having my own bathroom, i can p**s and floss simultaneously, and I get to use my phone an hour a day! (sic)"

It was reported earlier last year that pro skateboarder Bam, 39, had been sentenced to three years probation - including paying fines and fees - in the DUI case.

The incident came just weeks after he and his second wife Nicole Boyd - whom he married in October 2013 - welcomed their first child, son Phoenix Wolf, on December 23.

His former co-star Steve-O, 43, has also been open about his own battle with addiction, and shortly after Bam's arrest he offered his friend some advice.

He said:"That's all anyone wants - to see him happy or healthy. You just get to a certain point, you surrender to the process."

He added that friends have been concerned about him for a while now, and while people hoped having a child would help him, that's not always the case.

He added: "A lot of people have been concerned about Bram for a long time ... You've gotta get sober. Now, he's just had a kid, a lot of people think that having a kid, 'Oh I'm gonna get my act together because I'm having a kid'.

"But that's the thing about the disease of alcoholism, you have no power over it."
