Gavin Rossdale needs to break his "obsessive" chocolate habit after splurging $750 on candy in one night
The Bush rocker - who has daughter Daisy Lowe, 36, with Pearl Lowe and sons Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 10, with ex-wife Gwen Stefani - admitted he needs to "sort [his] life out" when it comes to his sweet tooth but he is finding it difficult to curb his cravings

He told Us Weekly magazine: "I'm trying to sort my life out because me and chocolate need to sit down and figure this out between us because it's too obsessive. Our relationship is too obsessive. We need to just lighten it up. We're trying to take a moment apart, but it's hard.
"[My favourite is] chocolate candy as in bars of chocolate: Galaxies, or Swiss chocolate. The English are the worst because the candy's so good. You just want to punch yourself in the face or the stomach. It's really weird.
"I'll sit at night, and the kids are asleep, and I'll be online. I went ahead and I spent $750 on English candy. I was like, 'You should get mindful chocolate,' and then I got a bunch of healthy chocolate.
"Then I was like, 'Come on, we've got to get the Indian sweets.' I love Indian sweets, [which] are made with condensed milk. So I went on a spree of three or four Indian companies.
"And then I was thinking, just calm down."
The 59-year-old star was "shut out" of a lot of sweet options when he was younger because of his dislike of marzipan, but he's happy to tuck into the almond-based treat now.
He said: "I didn't like marzipan as a kid. It shut me out of a lot of candy. There was a chocolate shop right near me and I was like, 'You've got to try the candy. It looks so good.'
" But I'd be like, this is the worst thing because then you eat Christmas cake and you have to take the bit and separate it. So I tried to get into that - I didn't, but I can do it now."
