Freddie Woodward, who competed at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, said at the height of his addiction he sometimes visited adult websites multiple times a day.
 
Today, the 30-year-old, from Sheffield, is calling for better education around porn addiction - which is not "shame-based, but honest and evidence-led". He said he hoped speaking out would encourage others to seek help.
