Dele Alli's partner Cindy Kimberly has reacted to the football star's heartwrenching tell-it-all interview.

The Englishman has endured both on and off-the-pitch struggles in recent months, with his difficult spell culminating in him checking himself into rehab due to an addiction to sleeping tablets.

According to The Mirror, the former Tottenham Hotspur ace has since opened up on his struggles and even reflected on his traumatic childhood with his birth family before he was adopted as a teenager.

Speaking to Neville on The Overlap, Alli narrated a harrowing account of how he was molested as a six-year-old boy, adding that his birth mother battled an alcohol addiction.

He has now recognised that one of the first steps to rediscovering himself is opening up, admitting his struggles, and seeking help, all of which he is doing simultaneously.
