Nineties pop star Kavana has shared an inspiring message for anyone battling addiction. The 46 year old singer, who's documented his battles with alcohol, posted a candid before-and-after photos on Instagram, taking his followers back to his lowest point last year and saying "recovery is possible."

He came seventh in the 2015 series of Celebrity Big Brother. However, the former star – who came out as gay in 2014 and admitted to a secret relationship with the late Boyzone singer, Stephen Gately – has faced struggles in recent years, finally deciding to turn his life around in the summer of last year.

Celebrity fans expressed their support including former Bad Boys Inc singer Matthew Pateman, who said, "Proud of you," Steps singer H Watkins, who commented, "Proud friend," and 911 frontman Lee Brennan, who simply added: "Superstar."
