Scotty T confesses he took cocaine EVERY day to cope with the pressure of fame

Reality Star Scotty T has revealed his troubled past with drugs where he began taking cocaine every day after losing close family and friends. 

Scotty T – whose real name is Scott Timlin – said that when he first found fame on Geordie Shore in 2012 he was plied with booze and drugs during nights out.

The 30-year-old said that after receiving help from a rehabilitation facility in Scotland, he spiraled again after the death of his step father and three close friends.

However despite his tremulous past which saw him get fired from MTV after pictures of him snorting a line of cocaine emerged, Scott admitted that he still takes the drug ‘recreationally’. 

Discussing his time on Geordie Shore during an interview with The Sun, Scott said: ‘While the show was on air, I’d be doing club personal appearances every night and I started taking cocaine to cope. I used to be completely anti-drugs, anti-smoking and despise all of that. But I fell into that lifestyle.

Scott, who has ADHD, said that he couldn’t use caffeine as a way of keeping his energy levels up because it affected his anxiety, so to cope he would take cocaine.

He added that he didn’t know how else to cope because sometimes he was doing three personal appearances in one day, adding that this time in his life was ‘horrendous’.

Following a roller coaster five years after joining the show, Scott decided enough was enough and checked himself into rehab in Scotland where he stayed for two weeks.

However shortly after leaving the Scottish facility Scott quickly slipped back into his old lifestyle where he took drugs and partied, before finally being dropped by MTV after the pictures of him taking cocaine materialized.

During this time Scott revealed he was ‘using a lot’, and shortly after he lost a lot of people who were close to him including his step dad and three close friends.

The Celebrity Big Brother winner was also hit by the loss of Love Island’s Sophie Gradon and her boyfriend who took his own life following her death.   

He said: ‘I was very close to both of them and that was really hard. I was breaking up with my girlfriend, I was alone in my house and I was like “why is everyone around us dying”. I got to such a low depressed point but I managed to pull myself out of it.’

At this point Scott checked himself into a center in Thailand where they helped him battle his demons for two and a half months, where he claims they ‘retrained his mind’.

Despite his life appearing to be back on track, after he was signed to work alongside his old co-star Charlotte Crosby on her show Just Tattoo Of Us, Scott admits he hasn’t managed to give up drugs completely. 

He said: ‘Yes it is a slippery slope but I’ve never got to the point where I’m doing it all night. I know it’s an excuse but I can’t put a full stop on that part of my life.’

Scott claimed that he now much prefers a night in at home and is focusing on his work, after apparently turning his back on his wild partying ways.
