– Following an emotional meeting with his close family last night, former RAW guest host Ricky Hatton is this morning heading into hospital to seek treatment for his current problems. UK tabloid – News of the World – ran a story on Sunday regarding the former light-welterweight king's drink and drug binges, and posted a clip of Hatton snorting a few lines of cocaine. During the meeting, Ricky asked for the help of his family and admitted he hadn't realised how his life had got off track recently. He says he feels ashamed at how he has let down his mother & father, son, brother and girlfriend and also apologizes to all his fans for his behavior. The Hitman is now determined to get his life back on track and realizes that he needs the professional help that will be available to him in hospital. Those close to Hatton are deeply concerned about him and are relieved that he has asked for help.
