Speaking on the One For The Road podcast, Michelle revealed that Katie and her manager had helped gather the funds for her to get treatment after she vowed to kick alcohol and drugs for good. She explained: ‘I remember being absolutely done for maybe a couple of months, but the absolute “done, done” was probably a week in the Priory.‘The moment I recognised that I wanted what somebody else had was when I was with my friend Katie Price and I had just had a massive night out with my other friends.‘It ended in a really bad argument, and my other friends had blamed themselves for me going in the Priory. We know as addicts, that’s nothing to do with it.’Michelle added: ‘I never experienced hangovers because I was a grazer, I did things every day but I was really hungover and I remember just needing more.
