He may have been caught asleep at the wheel more times than you can shake a stick at but singer George Michael insists that his life of drugs and sex on Hampstead Heath is "just who I am".

Last year George was arrested for being in possession of crack cocaine after being found by police in public toilets on the Heath in north London.

Though he refused to comment on how recently he had indulged in Class A drugs, George declared that he had cut back his cannabis use from 25 joints a day to just seven or eight.

And on the subject of cruising for sex, George told The Guardian: "The handful of times a year it's bloody warm enough, I'll do it.

"I'll do it on a nice summer evening. Quite often there are campfires up there.

"It's a much nicer place to get some quick and honest sex than standing in a bar, E'd off your t**s shouting at somebody and hoping they want the same thing as you do in bed."

While pal Sir Elton John has repeatedly tried to help George beat his drugs demons, the 46-year-old singer is having none of it.

"He will not be happy until I bang on his door in the middle of the night saying, 'Please, please, help me, Elton. Take me to rehab'," says George.

"It's not going to happen. Elton just needs to shut his mouth and get on with his own life."

Our advice is to stay off the north London roads this Christmas folks... George's next driving mishap is surely only just around the corner.
