“I wasn’t even aware of it until his sister told me a few days ago,” Dawson told Confidential.

“I don’t think it is good for his recovery to have done the interview but his family have told me it was done six months ago when he was in a bad place.”

A family friend told Confidential that Miller was not aware he had taken part in the interview until ­recently.
