Series exploring the downside of fame. As a TV heart-throb who effortlessly made the transition from small screen to pop superstardom, Jason Donovan was the perfect '80s teen pin-up.

But it all spectacularly fell apart after his dalliance with cocaine became a full-blown addiction and he engaged in a supremely damaging libel case over an allegation that he was gay. He talks to Piers Morgan about his downfall and discusses how he made it back to the top.
