'Glee' star heads for rehab

'Glee' star Cory Monteith is heading to rehab, it emerged today.

Monteith’s representative told People magazine that the actor had “voluntarily admitted himself to a treatment facility for substance addiction”.

People reported the news on its website.

This is not the first time in rehab for the 30-year-old actor, who plays Finn Hudson in the Fox TV series.

He had treatment when he was 19 and has spoken about his addiction struggles, saying he had a serious problem and took just “anything and everything”.
