The dad-of-two muddled through his work by day and was given frequent warnings.

The 23-year-old would even rush home at lunchtime in a bid to squeeze in extra game time.

And he was hardly troubled when his wife Sarah moved out with their children.

Lee told Daily Mirror: “Not until I saw my own child obsessed with playing and watching others play did I realise I had to do something about my addiction.

“I have to say Fortnite was completely ­addictive. I’d lose track of time in a way I never had before.

“I’d go to bed at 11pm, then creep down and play for two or three more hours. To wake me up, I started having a line of cocaine.

“It’s amazing I didn’t get sacked at work. I was almost unable to function.”

When his wife took the kids to her mum’s, it left Lee to play 10 more hours of Fortnite per night.

Meanwhile, this isn't the first person to become obsessed with the game.

Earlier this month, a young girl was taken into rehab after her addiction caused her to wet herself.

The game has been endorsed by a number of celebs who regularly upload videos of them playing it.
