Jim said the drugs made him "feel like Superman" and said they were "all that mattered" in his life.

"At one showbiz party I was sat at a table with my nose bleeding, looking like I was about to keel over and die, and I remember wondering why Miss World, who was a guest at the do, didn’t want to talk to me," he said.

"I couldn’t take enough. Drugs made me feel like Superman. Life was just one long, long party. I’d end up staying up for days on end, hanging out with people I didn’t even know. All that mattered was the drugs. When I sniffed a line it gave me a huge buzz and a rush of euphoria. But as soon as that started wearing off I wanted more."

Jim had also admitted in the past that he would even help to supply drugs for his friends.

He said: "I used to take tonnes of drugs. My mates used to send me down to Erith to pick up all the pills and things and come back to Woolwich. I didn't go far, it's not like I went to Peru or somewhere, but I was the bloke from the pub that used to go and get them all."

During an appearance on Life Stories with then-host , Jim admitted he didn't know how to "put the brakes on" with his addiction and pushed his family aside as a result of his addiction.

"It became a bit of a mess really. I had to put the brakes on…I did not know how to. I used to go to the pub at lunchtime as I was bored. I was earning £250,000 a week and I was able to push some things aside – and that included family," he said.

"Sometimes I took 250 pills in a weekend, amphetamines, when I was young. It was awful. That is why I stopped doing it. It made me feel awful and then I moved on to to all that Charlie."
