Ore Oduba gives update after revealing 30-year struggle with porn addiction

Ore Oduba has opened up on his “terrifying” decision to reveal his 30-year-long porn addiction.

Last November, the Strictly Come Dancing winner appeared on Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast, where he revealed that his addiction began at the age of nine after a friend’s brother showed him adult images.

Opening up on the “seismic” reaction seven months later, Oduba told This Morning that he was nervous about how people would respond, but knew it was “something I had to do”.

Oduba also shared his thoughts on the newly announced under-16s social media ban. “We're coming to the point of really realising that these devices have so many addictive traits and it really is ruining people's lives.”
