The singer admitted having a five-year on-and-off relationship with 24-year-old accounts manager Neva Hanley as well as a string of drunken one-night stands while on tour. He attributed the affairs to a two-year battle with alcohol.

Love-rat: Mark Owen has admitted to ten affairs

He said: "I have been an idiot, a d**khead, a kn*bhead. All of the above and more. It's about me, my mistakes, nobody else is to blame."

Owen, 38, insisted the affairs happened before he married Emma in November and that he has been faithful to her since.

The couple have two children: Elwood, three, and Willow Rose, one.

Married: Mark Owen with his wife on their wedding day

He told The Sun: "I don't know how many girls there were in all. Maybe 10. I have been living with the guilt. It held me back in my relationship with Emma.

"Emma is really strong and I know she will do what is right for her and the kids. She loved me — she still does love me — and I have let her down. That's the truth of it."

He claimed that he had not slept with any other girls since his wedding, adding: "I'm proud of that. I know it sounds really stupid but on our wedding day, for me the ring is really important and I want to be true to my word."
