Showbiz golden couple Sting and Trudie Styler have been exposed as "not all they seem" by their chauffeur of four years Mick Madadi.

The twosome have always given a loved-up impression, but Madadi insists Sting would rather disappear and "get stoned" than spend time with his wife.

He says, "You see all these pictures of Sting and Trudie hand-in-hand and kissing sweetly and it's a lot of rubbish.

"Trudie is so needy but Sting is never there. He's just into playing his banjo and getting stoned. The couple are not all they seem.

"Sting liked to do his own thing away from Trudie and the kids. It seemed like wherever Trudie was, Sting wasn't."
