According to The Mirror, the 33-year-old spent 10 days at a London hospital last month being treated for alcohol addiction.

The paper reports that he has since left to fulfil work commitments.

The hell-raising star of The Tudors has long had issues with alcohol - it is thought he first entered the Promises rehab facility in California back in 2005 and returned for further treatment in 2007.

But later that year, Rhys Meyers was arrested and charged at Dublin Airport for being drunk and disorderly.

Early in 2009 he was back in rehab again and just last year, it was rumoured that the actor had received a lifetime ban from United Airlines after "pounding drinks" and becoming increasingly "disruptive".

In the past, Jonathan has said of his issues with booze: "When I do drink I'm like Bambi. I'm all over the place like a 16-year-old kid."

Let's hope after a fourth stint in rehab he has finally beaten his addiction.
