Last time Closer spoke to mum Louise Wylde she had slept with 220 men and was having sex with strangers every night.
Incredibly, even going through aggressive treatment for cancer didn't put her off sex - she'd often have radiotherapy and moments later be jumping into bed with someone.
But tired of being unable to form lasting relationships, she started attending a sex rehab clinic in a desperate bid to cure her addiction. But now she's found love with fellow sex addict taxi driver Mark Cassidy, 36 - and they hope to get married.
She says: "As soon as I saw Mark in the group, I thought he was good looking. We have the best sex ever and we both have an extremely high libido.
“As long as we’re both getting what we want and need, we have no desire to stray."
She adds: “I admit I still want sex all the time, but so does Mark, so it works."
Louise, 33,who has three children from different fathers, used to have sex at work, in the park and once on a pool table within 30 minutes of meeting someone.
She has had recurring lymphoma since childhood - but even having radiotherapy didn't curb her sexual appetite.
Louise was given the all-clear at the end of last year but still needs regular check ups.
“I felt I was leading a double life," says Charity Volunteer Louise.
"I’d do the school run, look after my kids, who I love to bits, but then in the evenings or at the weekends when they were staying with their dads, I’d be having sex with strangers or semi-regular partners.
“I wanted to stop, but sex is something I need. I’d rather go without food than without sex – it’s that vital to me. but I knew it wasn't normal, I wanted to get better for my kids," she says.
Two yeara ago, Lousie signed up with a sex rehab clinic.
She says: "I had individual counselling and group therapy, where we talk about our issues.
"It isn't an immediate cure, but it's really helped."
At one of the sessions she met Mark - his marriage had broken up because he had been sleeping with prostitutes.
She says: “He’d slept around a lot and blown loads of cash on prostitutes and missed lots of work for having sex.
“He really struggled with what he’d put his wife through, due to his addictions.
“We would meet for coffee and our attraction just kept on getting stronger. Eventually we decided to give having a relationship a go.
"It isn't advised to date another addict, but I know it's right for us. I don't care what anyone else thinks."
And Louise adds: “It was a huge step for both of us because this time it was love, which had always scared me.
But there’s a really strong connection between us – partly because of what we've both been through and I suppose I've just found ‘the one’ too."
The couple have now been together for five months and are living together.
They are both still having treatment at the same clinic. Louise has also stopped talking to her regular hook-ups.
She says: “I know people might wonder how we can trust each other. Certainly I’ve cheated on every man I’ve been with in the past.
“One of my boyfriends actually caught me doing a sex act on someone when we were at a party together. but we understand each other."
And Lousie believes her sex life is better than ever.
She says: "We have sex two to three times a day and it's still so passionate.
“We are hoping to get married when Mark's divorce comes through, my kids love him and I’m happier than I’ve ever been and feel I’m finally living the ‘normal’ life that I wanted.”
“We’ve both been through counselling now and we’re always honest with each other and talk about how we’re feeling."
Mark adds: "I believe we can make a real go of it together."
