Duncan James

Duncan James was so devastated when Blue split, he became dependent on anti-depressants.

James was one-quarter of the popular boyband, which enjoyed huge success across Europe in the early 2000s, the group split in 2004 - and James resorted to therapy and prescribed medication to help him through the traumatic time.

He tells Britain's Closer magazine, "I would go to see my psychiatrist and I would be in there shaking. I was on something like 40 milligrams a day and the doctor said you can't just stop them.

"It took me about a year to get off them and I was so ill trying to do it. I was getting panic attacks live on TV." and James is relieved he finally kicked the habit: "It's a nicer life now. It's definitely more real. I'm much happier."
