Sarah Harding’s Celebrity Big Brother ex Chad Johnson, who found fame on US TV show The Bachelor, has sparked relapse concerns after filming himself unable to stand and slurring his words.
The star has previously spoken frankly about his battle with booze telling Fox News how he was “looking into getting some sort of treatment, outpatient or something, that will somehow help my drinking”.
In a concerning Instagram live stream earlier this month, which was broadcasted to his 240,000 followers, Chad could be seen sprawled on his living room sofa shirtless alongside his dog Pumpkin.
During the stream, which was transmitted around 6.30pm LA time on April 10, Chad appeared bleary-eyed and regularly lost his train of thought.

At one point the camera flipped around accidentally showing an empty bottle of Jack Daniel’s whisky as a result.
As the star gazed at the phone many fans rushed to the comments section to beg him to seek help.
“Damn this is sad,” one fan wrote, while another posted: “Chad, I’m worried about you.”

A source told Daily Star Online: “He clearly wasn’t in a good way.
“There were about 300 people watching him in an intoxicated state – he seemed in self-destruct mode.
“For the majority of the stream he found it difficult to even put two words together.”
Later on in the clip, which lasted for around half an hour, Chad made his way to the kitchen to show off the cocktail of supplements he takes daily to keep his body in top shape.

After propping his phone up on the worktop, the star went on to down a drink before falling back and losing his footing.
Slurring his words, Chad said: “Alright, I accidentally fell away, that was my fault, you know… I accidentally… I didn’t plan it so…”
The following day, the star returned to Instagram live where he was asked about the incident.
Replying to a question about how he was feeling, the US star said: “Not as bad as I should, but whatever you know.”

Chad previously told fans he had stopped drinking alcohol because it had been an “issue” in his life, adding he “doesn’t act right” when he does.
Earlier this week the star, who currently works as an adult entertainer on OnlyFans, hinted his battle with booze is far from over.
The star tweeted to his 100,000 fans on April 21: “Alcohol is terrible.
“It’s like some guy just shows up every 2-3 weeks, trashes my apartment, spends all my money, throws my laundry everywhere, and breaks some s**t and then just leaves me to pick up the pieces.”
Daily Star Online has contacted a rep for Chad Johnson multiple times for comment as well as Chad directly.
