Last night Bay City Roller star, Les McKeown was the focus of Living’s new reality TV series, Rehab.

Les has spent decades addicted to alcohol and during treatment for his problem he admitted that many of his emotional problems stem from a date rape incident which occurred when he was only 17 year old.

“Date rape is the best way I can think of to explain how I was cajoled into a situation through drugs into having sex with another man,” he explained.

“It happened in America in a hotel room. I was given Quaaludes, a drug for lowering your inhibitions and making you horny.

“Afterwards I felt really used and abused. I never told anybody about it, not even the other guys in the band, because I was ashamed.”

He added:

“Maybe part of the shame was that I actually enjoyed it. Before that, I always thought I was straight, but what was happening to me was very erotic and I felt pleasure from it,” he said.

“Now I think a lot of the shame I’ve felt ever since has to do with the person who did that to me. I hated him. I tried to drink it away and push that memory into obscurity.”

The show was actually quite watchable last night and next week focus will shift to former X Factor contestant Rowetta, who also has an alcohol addiction problem.
