Jordan in drug shock
|
Oooh - the News of the World has been at it again, with yet more attention-grabbing headlines about our favourite reformed glamour girl. The latest? "Jordan: My Drug And Suicide Hell" screamed yesterday's front page - referring to a revelation in the latest instalment of Ms Price's autobiography.
So what's the story? Well, Jordan admits she once took a prescription drug - supplied by a "friend" - while suffering from post-natal depression three years ago. At first, she tried to keep it from husband Peter Andre, but felt compelled to tell him after she suffered a bad reaction in the middle of the night.
"Of course it was stupid, but I was confused and so low in myself," she says now. "I knew it wasn't me. This was a one-off night, because I was so low I didn't know what to do to feel better. But I started to panic because I felt so bad after taking them."
And the "suicide hell"? Jordan admits she hit rock-bottom - but denies she was ever suicidal. "I never wanted to commit suicide," she insists. "I have children and I love them and have a responsibility to them. It was definitely scary and I never want to go back there. But I was medically ill."
Jordan's frightening experience brought her fragile emotional state out into the open with Peter and her mum - and persuaded her to seek professional help for her depression and get her life back on track.
Moving on to happier things... Jordan and Peter have announced plans to renew their wedding vows, after just three years of marriage. Gosh - that's bound to be an understated, private affair, isn't it?
