Take That's Mark Owen set to leave rehab 'next month' as he plans fight to save marriage

'Demons': Mark Owen, seen here after admitting to his string of affairs, is being treated for alcoholism and depression while in rehab
But it has emerged he has been responding well to treatment and he will now leave in April.


Take That star Mark Owen ‘will leave rehab next month,’ friends have revealed.

The singer – who admitted earlier this month that he had cheated on wife Emma – is currently in an unnamed private clinic in Britain.

The 38-year-old is dealing with his ‘demons', which include both alcoholism and depression, while in the rehab unit.


A friend revealed: ‘Initially, everyone thought he might be in the clinic for months but Mark has been responding really well to treatment.

‘As a result, it has been decided he will leave the clinic next month.’

The news comes after it emerged that Mrs Owen had so far failed to visit him in the clinic. The singer was said to be heartbroken at the thought his five-month marriage may already be beyond repair.

But the friend added: ‘Mark knows that when he comes out of the clinic he has to try and persuade Emma to give him another chance. That is what he is preparing himself for now - because no decision has been made on their marriage so far.'

Mrs Owen has been with the singer for seven years.

She is mother to his two children Elwood, three, and Willow Rose, one. They live in Wandsworth, south-west London.

Mrs Owen was left devastated earlier this month when he confessed to ‘maybe ten’ flings behind her back. Friends then persuaded him to go and seek treatment for 'his own wellbeing.'

The affairs included a relationship with accounts manager Neva Hanley, 24, which went on intermittently for nearly five years.

At the time, Owen admitted: ‘I have been an idiot. Nobody else is to blame.’

He did, though, insist he has been faithful since marrying Mrs Owen in Inverness, Scotland in November.
