TV Star Ore Oduba Reveals Lifelong Porn Addiction Struggle
13 Nov
Summary
- Ore Oduba, 39, opens up about porn addiction since age 9
- Addiction 'destroyed his life' and kept him isolated for decades
- Tattoo symbolizes 'serendipity' and finding strength in faith

In a candid revelation, TV star Ore Oduba has opened up about his lifelong battle with a devastating porn addiction that began when he was just 9 years old. The 39-year-old former Strictly Come Dancing champion says the addiction 'destroyed his life' and kept him isolated for decades due to overwhelming shame.
Oduba recently took to Instagram to unveil a new tattoo featuring the word 'Serendipity' and a butterfly outline. He explained that this past year has been a journey of self-discovery, where he has had to confront his addiction and find strength in his faith. Oduba stated that while not everyone is spiritual, his personal beliefs have been a crucial source of support during this challenging period.
The TV personality, who was raised in a strict household in Dorset, revealed that he could never confide in his family about the addiction due to fear of severe consequences. He described his father's authoritarian parenting style, where any wrongdoing would result in the family being sent back to Nigeria for strict disciplining. This environment made it impossible for Oduba to seek help or open up about his struggles.
Now, Oduba is determined to use his platform to raise awareness about the prevalence of childhood exposure to pornography, especially as his own two young children grow older. He hopes that by sharing his story, he can guide others and prevent them from falling into similar traps.
