Dougie Poynter: McFly star took lethal doses of Valium after band break-up 'All my fault'

Dougie attempted to take his own life in 2011 over alcohol and drug problems, as he said the relapse was the closest he came to “losing” himself.

Speaking on the ITV show McFly: All About Us, guitarist Danny added: “He went from being quite sketchy to being super chill, like almost dribbling and I was like, ‘There’s something wrong man’.”

Harry, who reached out to him and asked the star what was going on, said: “I said to him, ‘Don’t freak out mate, but I know you’re taking something.

“‘Is everything OK?’”
