Chimp inside me took over, explains Joey

Ex-con Barton, speaking in the Autumn/Winter 2012 issue of GQ Style, revealed he attended anger management classes and addiction meetings when he spent 74 days behind bars in 2008 for assault and affray.

He said: “I was on a journey and I have a really inquisitive mind so I wanted to learn more.

“I used to go to AA meetings just because I was interested in what people were saying.

“I even went to NA meetings and I’ve never touched a drug in my life.

“Anything that gets you out of your cell is a bonus.”

Despite his ban, Barton says he is happy with his life.

He said: “I never thought I’d have an interest in horse racing or do a crash course in digital media. But I have.

“So who knows what the future holds? Life’s good.”
