"Gambling was my one true love and if anybody questioned it or got close to it or were going to tell me to stop, I'd do anything to get them away from it. "My children are witnessing arguments, my wife was treading on eggshells not wanting to ask about the money, financial abuse you know one day we've got £10,000 the next we've got 10p." Andy's marriage came to an end and he left the Navy in 2011. He was convicted for theft in 2012. But as a veteran his gambling continued. He was convicted for fraud in 2017 and went to prison in 2018 for domestic assault. He committed another fraud in 2021 for which he went back to prison for 12 months. He finally stopped gambling after attending a rehabilitation centre in 2022 and now delivers education and awareness programmes to veterans and those serving.
