BLUE - COSTA'S OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER

BLUE singer ANTONY COSTA is still afflicted by an obsessive compulsive disorder which started in childhood.

The U MAKE ME WANNA singer's condition leaves him paranoid "bad things" will happen if he doesn't bow to his compulsions, and he admits it used to rule his life.

He says, "When I was younger I had posters of girls around my room and - this is really sad - I had to touch them before I went to bed, I thought that something bad would happen otherwise.

"My mum caught me once and it was the most embarrassing thing in the world."

The 22-year-old, who is still sometimes plagued by the behavioural disorder, says, "I even have to clean the toilet seat in a certain way, I have to wipe it anti-clockwise every time I use it."
