Documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux returned to the BBC earlier this year with a heart-breaking look at alcohol addiction in South London.
Titled Drinking to Oblivion, the film saw Theroux follow a series of recovering addicts who had found themselves in King’s College Hospital due to their continuing alcohol consumption.
One of those was 32 year-old Joe Walker, who battled with drink after missing out on a job and breaking up with his partner.
While he was cleaned up by the hospital and detoxed, Walker relapsed not long after, and found himself back at the hospital.
By the end the documentary, Walker had moved out of London, and was living a sober life in Brighton – and now Louis Theroux has posted a further update on Walker’s progress.
Sharing a photo on Twitter, Theroux revealed that he met up with Joe, who has now been sober for eight months.

Walker responded to Theroux's tweet, saying: "cheers beardy ;) yours trumps mine however! Lovely to catch up again and see you soon #onedayatatime #rugged"
Theroux is expected to return to screens later this year as his feature film My Scientology Movie arrives in UK cinemas this autumn.
