‘You would come and sit with Grant, he was as high as a kite and telling all sorts of stories and he always felt much better after you came and sat next to him, and you told him a lot of times he was going to be alright.’
Larry replied: ‘We’re a small club. It’s a small club. There’s not many people who do what we do. There’s not many of us. We can all fit in one plane to go to the Logies.
‘I remember that Grant, very well. I remember how it impacted all of us. You’re one of the most loved in the business. It was horrible. Gosh,’ he continued.

‘For people who love you and care about you and for fans of yours. Going and sitting there and listening to your bulls**t while you were stoned off your face was the least I could do,’ he added

Denyer previously spoke about his painkiller addiction during a discussion with his campmates on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
He explained he’d once pelted eggs at his wife Chezzi when he was hungry during his recovery.
In 2014, Grant attended a wellness centre in Thailand which specialises in the treatment of PTSD and exhaustion
‘I decided to crash off it which was… when I went missing…’ he told Abbie Chatfield, Alli Simpson and Toni Pearen.
‘Mate, I pelted eggs at her [Chezzi] one night. I cracked it for some reason. I was hungry and was in pain and was confused and I just started throwing eggs at her.
‘She doesn’t deserve this, but you just can’t stop.’
The pair married in 2010 and have three daughters together; Sailor, 10, and Scout, six, and welcomed baby girl Sunday, who is now one, in February last year. All pictured
