Dougie Poynter Reassures Fans That He's Still Sober After Seemingly Being Pictured With Alcohol

A few years back McFly celebrated their ten-year anniversary by releasing a tell-all autobiography about their life in the spotlight, and although refreshingly honest the book did break our hearts as each member spoke openly about the battles that they faced as they grew up in the public eye.

Perhaps the most scary part of the book was Dougie Poynter’s candid admission that he’d been struggling with alcohol addiction for years and even tried to end his life in February 2011.

Thankfully this was the wake-up call that the star needed and he had a successful stint in rehab, with Dougie giving up alcohol for good and recently celebrating five years sober.

CONGRATULATIONS, DOUG.

However, the star is currently taking part in a whole load of photoshoots as part of his growing modelling career and was keen to reassure his fans that he had not fallen off the wagon following a recent shoot.

Taking to Instagram, Dougie uploaded a photo of himself sipping from a cup clearly labelled with the logo of popular Tequila brand ‘Patron’.

Not allowing anybody to get the wrong impression, Dougie simply captioned the snap with: “Water fyi”.

We never doubted you for a minute, Dougs.

Fans took to the comment section in their hundreds to share their undying love and support for the star, with the simple caption proving to be a stark reminder of the dark place that Dougie found himself in just a few years ago.

We couldn’t be more proud of the star.
