The Busted Musician Reveals He Left The Church Of Scientology After The Organization Attempted To Brainwash Him Into Thinking That His Wife Dragged Him Down.

The Church of Scientology tried to break up Matt Willis' marriage, the Busted musician has claimed.

The 37-year-old star opened up on how he became "fully invested" in the movement - which believes humans are immortal spiritual beings - until he realised they were trying to separate him from his wife Emma.

Speaking to Britain's The Sun newspaper, he said, "What I was taking from it was that your environment, your friends and the people you're closest to are your problem."

"I was like, 'What are you f**kers getting at here?' They were like, 'There's someone in your life who's actually draining you, who's a negative force, and it's normally the person closest to you.' "

"And it's like, 'I think they're trying to split my f**king marriage up now.' They were trying to force this weird opinion on me. When I look back at it, I was like, 'Are you trying to separate me from everybody else?' "

Matt and Emma have been married since 2008 and have kids Isabelle, 11, Ace, nine, and Trixie, four, together.
