Lucy Spraggan: alcohol, ADHD and turning pain into purpose

Lucy Spraggan knows what it takes to turn suffering into strength, having recently celebrated six years sober. Many know Lucy from her breakthrough on The X Factor, her career as a chart-topping musician, her Sunday Times bestselling memoir Process, or her appearance on Celebrity SAS. But behind the spotlight, alcohol was ruining everything. This week, Lucy joins Daniel for an open and moving conversation about her journey, from the highs of fame to the depths of rock bottom, and how embracing sobriety reshaped her life. She shares how creativity became a tool for healing, why connection matters so deeply, and what it really means to start again. Whether you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol or years into your own recovery, Lucy’s story is a reminder that hope is real, change is possible, and none of us have to do it alone.
