The 33-year-old opened up about his dad's battle with alcoholism, detailing his fall from grace with stories from his own childhood.

CBB star Calum recalled a time when he was 12-years-old. George returned home drunk, only to mistaken his son for a woman.

Previewing the book on the MailOnline, Calum said: "I am about to start trying to go back to sleep when Dad rolls over, puts his face in front of mine and kisses me: as in, he puts his tongue in my mouth. That kind of kiss.

"I freeze. What's going on? I'm old enough to know what a French kiss is. But why is my dad doing it to me?"

Calum revealed that, because of his drinking, George would regularly fly into a rage, taking it out on his son.

Another time, when he was hanging out with his dad's fiancée Alex, Calum said George came home only to suddenly turn on both of them.

He said: "I realise what he must be thinking. My drunk, old, alcohol-poisoned dad is convinced his 14-year-old son and his beautiful young fiancée are getting it on behind his back."

According to Calum, George got angry. He turned on Calum, shockingly raging: "You're not my son."

"He's never spoken to me like this before," Calum added. "My father, me hero, is telling me I'm not his son."

In November 2005 George died aged 59, from multiple organ failure. At the time of his death, Calum said: "Not only have I lost my dad… we've all lost a wonderful man."
