Obsession: Checking doors and lights The troubled ex-England soccer legend, famed for his antics both on and off the pitch has revealed that it is his obsession with his home that drives him to despair.

Jane Horrocks
Obsession: Blinking
The British actress tells of how becoming a mother saved her from extreme bouts of obsessive behaviour. The actress went through a phase concentrating on swallowing. Later on, it was on how many times she blinked. She only stopped when she had a child because she realised that when you have children 'you don't have time to be obsessed'.

The Limp Bizkit front man famously lives up to his rock and roll image but is also tormented by the condition. He refuses to be drawn on the subject in any depth although he admits that it dominates his life. 'It's tough man, it makes touring hell,' he says. 'It's something I've struggled with for a long time. I'm still coming to terms with it. But I'd actually rather not talk about it.'
