She opened up about her private struggle, which she says began when she was a teenager. 'That was something that enslaved me and marked me for so long,' Madi said. 'Thankfully, by the grace of God and by the power of Godly community and people around me, I have been free from porn and masturbation for, I don't even know, 10 years.' Madi said the habit took root after she was exposed to sexual content as a teen. She said: 'I had already had moments of being curious about things and having certain feelings or wondering certain things or fantasizing about certain things. 'I had not told that to anyone. 'I went over to a friend's house and her parents weren't around and she turned on this show that was extremely inappropriate.' Most read in Reality She described feeling 'desire' for the first time and said the experience triggered years of shame, even as she tried to stay true to her faith. 'No matter how much I loved Jesus, I could not shake that sin,' she said.

Rock icon, 73, looks worlds away from 70s superstardom as he grabs coffee in LA
A ROCK icon looked worlds away from his 1970s heyday as he stepped out in Los Angeles. The popular performer left fans stunned as he went for a coffee in a rare public outing. 5 This rock icon looked worlds away from his performing heyday Credit: BackGrid 5 He went for a coffee run in LA - but do you recognise him? Credit: BackGrid 5 It's Paul Stanley from Kiss Credit: PA Aged 73, the rocker was part of a hugely popular band that had a string of popular albums among rock music fans - but do you recognise him? Paul Stanley co-founded the band Kiss with Gene Simmons in the 70s with the group becoming known for their raucous and outlandish antics on the stage. The performer kept it casual for his low-key outing as he was spotted without his trademark Kiss make-up that the band became well known for. He opted for a simple patterned shirt and a pair of light blue denim jeans as he made his way to Starbucks for his regular coffee order. Paul flashed a smile as he made his way back to his car carrying his drinks. You'd be forgiven for not recognising Paul thanks to the star usually sporting heavy theatrical make-up for Kiss. The star and his bandmates previously explained how in the early 70s New York, the glam rock trend was prevalent with many male rock stars choosing to wear make-up to mirror their female counterparts. However, Kiss decided to create their own unique looks after confessing it was "unconvincing" that they could don regular make-up. Most read in Entertainment Speaking of their unique look, Paul's bandmate Gene Simmons recalled: "At the same time that we were forming in New York, there was a very big glitter scene, where boys were basically acting like girls and putting on makeup. "Well, we were more like football players — all of us were over 6 feet tall — and it just wasn't convincing!" DWTS guest judge Gene Simmons slammed for 'creepy' and 'uncomfortable' behavior toward women on live TV Paul is a father-of-four and shares three children with his wife Erin Sutton. Paul and Erin wed in 2005 and shared children Sarah, 15, Colin, 18, and Emily, 13, with her. He also has a son, 30-year-old Evan Stanley, from his failed marriage to first wife, actress Pamela Bowen. Pamela divorced him in 2001 after nine years of marriage. Paul Stanley's career AS well as his time in KISS, Paul has enjoyed some ventures away from the band. Over the course of his career, he has released two solo albums. His first was a self-titled record in 1978 whilst still a member of the rock band and marketed under the look he became famous for in the group. It wasn't until 2006 that he went on to release a second solo record. In 1999, he became a stage performer for the first time when he began appearing in a production of The Phantom of the Opera throughout 1999 in which he closed the show's ten-year run in Toronto, Canada. In 2012, he and bandmate Gene headed into business when, along with the help of three investors, they launched the restaurant chain, Rock & Brews. Paul published his autobiography, Face the Music: A Life exposed, in 2014. 5 The band were known for their theatrical face make-up Credit: Getty 5 He was in the group alongside Gene Simmons Credit: Getty - Contributor
