The Take That singer, who last week revealed he had cheated on his wife Emma with ten women before they were married, has checked into a clinic for his alcohol problem.

He said: "I've made my bed and I've got to lie in it. I was very lucky to marry Emma because I've not always been a great partner.

"I have had issues for a long time. I've drunk for the last ten years and it got to a bad point. That's been my issue. I have been a prat."

Mark, 38, married Emma in November 2009 and the pair have two children - Elwood, three and Willow Rose, 14 months.

His Take That band mates - Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Howard Donald - have given Mark some time off from recording their new album to deal with his issues.

A source told the Sun: "They have told him he can just come back when he's ready. There is absolutely no time pressure. "

Since the revelations, Emma has been seen without her wedding ring.
