Dougie Poynter: 'Rehab was very positive'

McFly star Dougie Poynter has claimed that checking into rehab was one of the best things he has ever done.

The bassist visited the Priory earlier this month to get over his split from Frankie Sandford and her subsequent relationship with footballer Wayne Bridge.

"It's one of the best things I've ever done in my whole life," he told the News of the World. "I'm still me but it's definitely been very positive. I don't know how I've changed. I try not to really think too much about it.

"It's all been a bit strange. I came out and went straight on tour. The only people I've seen have been my mum, my nan and these guys. But on the internet everyone's been cool. That feedback has been awesome."

Bandmate Harry Judd added: "We've grown up together. We've all been through ups and downs. I've been through some real lows but we're always there for each other."

Sandford has reportedly received death threats following her split from Poynter.
