Rap star Professor Green has announced he is "taking a break from alcohol".

The 32-year-old rapper has admitted alcohol has been affecting his moods and playing havoc with his eczema, and so he's decided to quit drinking for the time being.

He wrote on Instagram: "As of today I'm taking a break from alcohol. I've been toying with the idea for ages but today I've decided I'm done for the foreseeable.

"It makes my eczema rage and already suffering with anxiety it does nothing but amplify it. If I can get through Christmas I can get through anything.

"It's been emotional and you've helped me make some of my best mistakes I've ever made, but for now alcohol, auf wiedersehen (sic)."
 

The rapper, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, has previously spoken about his ongoing battle against depression, admitting he's been seeing a therapist in a bid to cope with the issue.
