Waterloo Road star Richard Mylan has shared his secret 20-year heroin addiction in an interview he said could be “career-ending”.
The 48-year-old actor, best known for playing deputy headteacher Simon Lowsley in the hit BBC drama, said he wanted to go public with his addiction to help reduce the “stigma”.
He acknowledged his admission that he used to be a “functioning professional addict” could hamper his career, but insisted: “I don’t care about that any more”.
