Lost star Naveen Andrews tells Jonathan Ross he lost two years to heroin: "There was a danger of me copping it ... I lost two years to heroin, but I was able to work, I don't know how I did it. You can take incredible abuse and still work ... I collapsed on a job because of booze.

"When I was younger it was open, it was a miracle I got any work done. On The English Patient I was warned ... but I used to collapse out of shot. The turning point was I drove my son when I was drunk and he was scared, and that's when I decided to go into rehab in LA."

And he's sticking with Lost: "I'm still proud of the first season, around the third I thought they were winging it, the writing was poor [but] I'm definitely doing two more years."
