You knew them as squeaky clean children with blindingly brilliant teeth - but when the Disney cameras stopped rolling, some simply went crazy

They forged their careers as squeaky clean all-singing, all-dancing child stars, thrust in front of the cameras when they were barely teenagers.

But so many who have walked the path of Disney fame have ended up doing battle with demons.

From manslaughter charges, suicide, to a tragic Amanda Bynes Twitter meltdown - the pressures of the spotlight have too often proved to be too much for some of Disney's best exports.

The latest to fall victim to the Disney curse is Demi Lovato, who suffered an overdose at her £6million Hollywood Hills mansion on Tuesday just months after celebrating six years of sobriety.

Take a look back at the Disney stars who went off the rails with tragic consequences...
1. Demi Lovato
Just 15 when she joined the Disney Channel, she starred in Camp Rock and Sonny with a Chance and quickly became one of Disney's most prominent stars.

But just as her star was on the ascendant, she began dabbling with cocaine and found herself in the grips of a life-or-death battle with drugs, alcohol, bipolar disorder and bulimia.

In 2010 Demi pulled out of the Jonas Brothers Live in Concert to enter rehab after punching backing dancer Alex Welch in the face because she told her management she was on Adderall.

Sadly she relapsed on her release and spent the next year living in a sober house, and in March 2018 she celebrated six years sober.

However, she admitted she'd once again fallen off the wagon in her latest track Sober, and was rushed to hospital after overdosing following an apparent all-night party at her place.

Quick-thinking friends are said to have saved her life by administering heroin antidote Narcan.
2. Lee Thompson Young
Best known for playing the title role in Disney Channel's The Famous Jett Jackson from 1998 to 2001, Lee tragically killed himself on August 19, 2013 - he was just 29-years-old.

Lee died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to his death certificate.

Since playing Jett, Lee had gone on to star in detective drama Rizzoli & Isles.
3. Zac Efron
The 30-year-old played teen heartthrob Troy in the popular High School Music franchise which made the child star a millionaire.

He met his sweetheart Vanessa Hudgens on set and they became the poster couple for awkward teenagers everywhere. They later broke up.

In September 2013 fans were shocked when it was alleged the brooding star quietly entered rehab earlier in the year for cocaine addiction.

According to sources Zac's addiction spiralled out of control and he sought help. Friends of the star said he was "doing great" after the stint.
4. Dutch Elijah Whitlock
The "I play the cello" actor from High School Musical was less than arrested for trying to rob a pizza restaurant at gunpoint in 2008. He must have really wanted that deep pan.

He served a year in prison aged 19.
5. Britney Spears
The long haired star hasn't been on TV since 2007 and we don't know if he actually ever played the cello.

Britney was one of the original Mouseketeers in The Mickey Mouse Club before becoming a raunchy schoolgirl pop star with Hit Me Baby One More Time.

It all went a bit downhill for Britney b***h in 2007 when she shaved her head, talked a bit of rubbish and was swiftly shoved into rehab. Also no one can forget her 55 hour marriage in Vegas in 2004.
6. Brian Boswell
In the last few years Britney has battled her demons and returned with a Las Vegas residency and world tour.

It has been a tale of woe for star of Blank Check Brian, he was arrested for two DUIs in 2001 and 2004. In 2007 the former child star was charged with assaulting his then girlfriend.
7. Misha Barton
After dropping off the radar in 1994, tattooed Brian's mug shot is the only screen time he is getting

Before the O.C, long-haired Misha was in Disney film A Ring Of Endless Light as a complete sweetheart.

It all went off the rails when in 2007 Misha joined Lohan, Bynes and Brian Boswell in the' Disney stars who have mug shots' group after getting arrested for drink driving.

And in January 2017 she was found by paramedics semi-naked screaming that her mother was a witch on Thursday.
8. Orlando Brown
She later claimed to have been fed a date rape drug while partying with friends.

He starred in That's So Raven but Orlando's real life wasn't so much of a laugh.

He was arrested for drug possession 2008. Then after his first DUI in 2008, he was slapped with another in 2011 and re-arrested in 2012.
9. Amanda Bynes
According to sources he currently has three warrants out for his arrest.

The Amanda Show star turned into a Drake loving Twitter monster.

After Amanda began tweeting in 2013 about her obsession with Drake murdering her vagina, surgery and rapping she became everyone's favourite on social media.

Two months later the wig loving adult was arrested after a bong fell from her New York apartment window - although all charges were eventually dropped Amanda made a series of outlandish claims about cops.

It all got too much for Amanda, who became estranged from her elderly parents, who was put under an emergency psych hold after starting a small fire on a stranger's driveway that September.

In 2017 she admitted her bizarre social media behaviour was down to drugs.

"I actually wasn't being insincere," she told Good Morning America. "I was like saying murder my vagina. I was serious, but I was also on drugs, so that was my way of saying like, 'Let's do it man.' But I was on drugs and trying to be hilarious.
10. Phil Lewis
"He's hot! What does that even mean? It just means, like, 'F**k me, Drake!'"

So, the star The Suite Life of Zack and Cody wasn't exactly a teenager but his real life is too interesting to ignore.

In 1991, Lewis - who starred as Mr. Moseby - was charged with manslaughter for killing a 21-year-old girl while drunk behind the wheel.
11. Miley Cyrus
But since the tragic events Phil has gone onto appear on Friends and multiple Disney Channel shows.

Hannah Montana shaved her head, found a foam finger and ditched her hunky Hunger Games fiance Liam Hemsworth.

Now, we know Miley hasn't been in any trouble with the law but her VMA performance with Robin Thicke is still burnt into our minds and would have turned good old Hannah's hair white.

So Miley makes the gallery because: She has gone nude on a steel ball, licked a foam finger and loves latex.
12. Selena Gomez
However, she's back with Liam Hemsworth and wearing white on the beach in Malibu so all's well that ends well.

Selena Gomez spent two weeks in a rehab facility which treats young people struggling with "emotional trauma, addiction or dual diagnosis concerns" back in 2013.

The 26-year-old was admitted to Dawn at The Meadows recovery centre - which treats people aged 18 to 26 years - in Arizona on January 5.

A representative for Selena - who has an off-off relationship with Justin Bieber - confirmed the report but says it was NOT related to substance abuse.

"Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse," her rep said.

She then checked in for a second time in 2017 after feeling 'depressed' and 'anxious'.

Selena's mental health got worse due to the public pressure and obsession with her previous relationship and a concern for her health resulted in an underlying condition, lupus. She bravely voiced her illness and educated the public on the illness to prevent serious health consequences. Her image will have automatically be associated with her illness from the public's perspective due to Selena being one of the first Disney stars to have experienced a event scare like that.

Singer, lupus advocate, and most-followed person ever on Instagram shared the news with fans and the public.

Actress and singer Selena Gomez revealed in an Instagram post that she had received a kidney transplant for her lupus in June.

In the post, she revealed that the kidney was donated by her good friend, actress Francia Raisa, writing:

"She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis."

Previously, in August 2016, Gomez had canceled the remaining dates of her tour when complications from her lupus caused her additional anxiety and depression. "It was what I needed to do for my overall health," she wrote in the new post. "I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you."

On Twitter, friends and fans alike are cheering Gomez for being open about her condition. Many consider lupus to be an "invisible illness" due to its often hidden symptoms and how difficult it can be to diagnose.

Gomez is one of many celebrities who've come out in recent years as living with invisible illnesses, including fellow singers and lupus survivors Toni Braxton and Kelle Bryan. And just days prior to Gomez's transplant announcement, Lady Gaga made waves when she announced on Twitter that she's living with fibromyalgia, another invisible illness.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation. It's a difficult condition for doctors to diagnose and has a variety of symptoms which affect people with different levels of severity. There are several types of lupus, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common type.

SLE can cause the immune system to target the kidneys, particularly the parts which filter your blood and waste products.

Lupus nephritis usually starts during the first five years of living with lupus. It's one of the most serious complications of the disease. When your kidneys are affected, it can also cause other pains. These are the symptoms Selena Gomez likely experienced during her journey with lupus:

Lupus nephritis has no cure. Treatment involves managing the condition to prevent irreversible kidney damage. If there's extensive damage, the person will require dialysis or a kidney transplant. About 10,000 to 15,000 Americans receive a transplant each year.

In her post, Gomez urged her followers to do their part to increase awareness about lupus and to visit and support the Lupus Research Alliance, adding: "Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made."
