Willis Seeks Help For Panic Attacks

Former Busted singer Matt Willis has been visiting a counsellor to try and combat the panic attacks he has suffered since launching his solo career.

The British star admits he has been feeling the pressure since heading out on his own.

He says, "I get a bit dark sometimes. I get panic attacks and feel stressed about everything. I don't handle stress well, I can't concentrate.

"I feel very nervous and intimidated all the time. Everyone says I'm a cocky so-and-so but it's not until I'm onstage I can be everything I've ever wanted to be.

"I have a counsellor who I see when I get a bit stressed and need to chat. I'll ring him up and he'll tell me to go and see him."
