Calum Best opens up about dad George

Calum Best was on today's show.

He was discussing how it was growing up with his dad's alcoholism, the pressures of the spotlight, and his own issues with drinking.

"My dad would pick me up from the airport and we'd go to the pub, and everyone would tell me how all he'd done was talked about me visiting, and then he'd suddenly disappear for two weeks on a bender.

"Now that I'm older, I think that the pressure just got to him, and he'd run".
