He said: "We watched it the other day together She’s almost 14, I thought she’s old enough to know about alcoholism and addiction.
"We watched it together and she had the most incredible questions, I was blown away by her reaction to it. I thought it was important as her friends or parents at school might watch it so I wanted to preempt her with that."
Matt Willis: Addiction In The Family set out to explore the science of addiction.
Willis said: "The more we got into the process of making the documentary it became quite obvious that it was rooted in this personal story. So it became much more about me and less about the science. We did find out some incredible science behind addiction."
The musician and TV presenter is also father to son Ace, 11, and seven-year-old daughter Trixie with The Voice presenter Emma.
Willis recently confessed he was using six grammes of cocaine a day when he relapsed into addiction on a reunion tour with Busted in 2016.
He said: "I was like, 'Cocaine wasn’t a problem for me, alcohol was my downfall'
"Within a month I was doing six grammes, bang, bang, bang, bang, on my own every f***ing day and not coming home until 3am in the morning, pretending I was working on my album.
"I wasn’t really writing I was making s*** music in the studio doing coke.

"It was straight back to that shame cycle, the shame of relapse, the same of letting everyone down, the shame of using uncontrollably trying to stop and not being able to."
