The Body Coach, Joe Wicks, has said that although his childhood was "chaotic," his experience has helped shape the husband and father that he has become in recent years.
The fitness coach, 36, has spoken about his upbringing for a new BBC documentary about mental health, in which he attempts to understand his own parent's struggles.
It's been reported his mum Raquela, 56, has struggled with OCD and eating disorders, whilst his dad Gary, 62, was a heroin addict and is said to have suffered from depression.
Joe, who's expecting his third child, said: "I think everything my mum taught me, and even my dad's mistakes, have helped me become a better husband and a better dad."
The author - who is married to model Rosie Wicks, 31, with whom he shares children Indie, three, and Marley, two - discussed his family in an interview with New magazine.
Joe said he isn't "always perfect," admitting that his "default" is to raise his voice and swear as "that's what [he] grew up with" though it's something he's "constantly working on."
Discussing his childhood, he recalled being "really upset" when his dad would relapse, saying that he "got really angry" as a teenager when he began to understand the addiction.

He opened up to the outlet about his experience ahead of the release of the documentary Joe Wicks: Facing My Childhood, which is set to be broadcast next week.
A synopsis states: "He wants to understand how his family's illnesses affected him as a child and how we can better support kids and families living in similar situations today."
It teases that "honest and emotional conversations" with his family, including his parents, unearth suppressed memories which lead Joe to confront his "turbulent" youth.
During his recent interview with New magazine, the fitness coach revealed that his relationship with his parents has improved over the years, with them now closer than ever.
He commented to the outlet about it: "My relationship with my mum and dad these days is better than its ever been because I understand where they've come from."
Joe Wicks: Facing My Childhood will be shown on BBC One and BBC iPlayer next Monday (May 16) at 9pm. It will be available for catch-up following its release next week.
