As the cast headed to Ibiza, the celeb contestants each had a chance for a consultation with Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn.
On tonight’s episode of Celebs Go Dating, it was the turn of 43-year-old singer, Jon Lee.
He admitted that a lot of the problems started when his father was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
He explained: “Within the first year, he lost the ability to move, he couldn’t speak, he had to be fed through a tube.
“I couldn’t talk to him, he couldn’t talk to me. To go out like that, it just seemed, I lost the plot.
He added: “I was like: what the f*** is the point? It broke my heart.”
The star later admitted that he was left so devastated, he packed his bags and he left the country and didn’t return for four years.
He also admitted that he sent his front door key back to his mother with a hand-written letter.
“I went out, I just went out, was taking loads of drugs. I went completely off the rails.
“That got to a point… Where I had to make a decision: you either sort yourself out or it’s not going to end well. I packed a bag there and then.

“[I] got my passport and got my credit cards, locked my front door and I never went back.
“I wrote to my mum. I sent her my front door key just with a note saying: ‘I don’t know where I’m going. I don’t know where I’m doing but I can’t be here, I need to sort myself out.'”
Breaking down in tears, he then explained that he didn’t speak to his parent for two years and that she constantly worried about his life.
“I left the country and didn’t come back for four years. I didn’t speak to my mum for two years. She didn’t know where I was.

“She said every time the phone rang she thought it was going to be the police and they’ve found Jon and he’s d3ad. That’s my biggest regret. That I caused her.”
He added: “That really hurt. That’s when my dad was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
“So I just had this had this emotional slap with this relationship. I hadn’t recovered and that’s when I fell apart.”
