After a week of shocking confessions about his private life, Mark Owen’s checked into rehab. The married Take That singer said he had affairs with as many as ten women and that he’s been drinking too much. “I am not using the drink as an excuse,” Mark told The Sun. “I’ve been living with the guilt.
