A dad-of-four has been told he needs a liver transplant - after the Covid lockdowns turned him to drink.
Stephen Allcock sought solace in bottles of wine and whisky after seeing his transport business closed down by Covid, suffering family issues, and losing his best mate in an M6 crash.
The 57-year-old progressed from drinking three bottles of wine a night to up to a bottle of whisky every day. It finally came to an end when Stephen was diagnosed with ascites and liver failure and told he needed the transplant.
