“It was like he was on self-destruct — he was boozing at home late into the night.
“Now he’s moving back in October, he wants to sort it out for good. He wants a completely fresh start and knows losing his unhealthy relationship with the bottle would be the best thing for them all.”
Earlier this year, it was reported that Coleen had given Wayne and ultimatum after a went on a 10 hour drinking session with a barmaid in the US.
An insider told The Sun at the time: “Coleen and her family have made it clear that unless Wayne gets help for his out-of-control drinking, the marriage will be over.
“No one can drink like Wayne. But it feels different this time. His behaviour is spiralling out of control.
“Wayne isn’t even sorry this time. He’s refusing to apologise and is defiant he’s done nothing wrong.
