He was crowned the winner of Celebrity MasterChef 2018 on Friday's final.
And John Partridge broke down in tears as he revealed cooking has saved him from his drug and alcohol battle.
In candid scenes which aired on Friday's episode, the former EastEnders actor, 47, admitted that his addiction occurred after his mother tragically passed away after battling Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Breaking down in tears, he said: 'Mum had Alzheimer’s, it was rough. It had a profound effect on me.
'I will carry that with me my entire life. Mum passed away and I completely broke down.
'My life was rapidly spinning out of control with substance abuse and alcohol.
'I would get up and go to the supermarket, I would buy groceries and I would stand here and cook all day.
'So I didn’t have a minute in the day to think about something else.
'That’s what cooking did for me. I’ve been clean for seven months, sober 185 days and it’s amazing.'
