Gordon gives a snort of coke.

The Dutch showbizzfiguur Gordon has never made any secret that he drinks and uses drugs, but in the first passages of his new biography, he talks in detail about his problems. “They give me a better feeling. I am sometimes at home in my own coke to sniff, purely to the kutgevoel out of my body to get,” he says in the book. Sometimes he went too far, confessed to the Dutch presenter. “I was in the shower and thought: I’m too taken, I believe that I have to call 112. I had so many kits that I have palpitations of got it.”
