The former glamour model has been open about her battle with drugs, with her kids Princess, 19, and Junior, 21, sharing in her new documentary that they felt "lonely" and unloved as her drug use meant she couldn't look after them properly.In an emotional interview for her Nothing To Hide documentary, Junior recalled: "I remember missing her so much. This one time in particular, I was in her bed waiting for her to come back, and I woke up probably 3:30am to some loud noises, and I see her come in the room, and I'll never forget the look on her face, she was obviously on stuff, right?"I could see it in her eyes, and I was.. it scared me, because I've never seen my mum look like that. She's there, but she's not there, you know."Princess cried as she added: "I always wanted to be there for her, and I always wanted to show her that, like, she has me, she has us, but she didn't understand that at the time, because she was so hooked up in her own problems."In the new documentary, Katie opens about her drug use, which came a decade after her split from husband Peter Andre in 2009, and amid a troubled marriage to Kieran Hayler who she wed in 2013."Kids need their mum, kids need their mum's love, their mum's hugs, and I thought I was given that, but obviously I wasn't. It must have been horrible for them, horrible for them, and I'm just sorry to them that I put them through that and thought I was doing the best I could with them, but what could I have done?" she said, reflecting on her own drug use.After one night of taking drugs and drinking, she crashed her car in September 2021. It resulted in her being banned from driving for two years and she was also handed a 16-week suspended jail sentence for drink-driving.In the same month, Katie checked into renowned rehab centre The Priory Clinic in a bid to tackle her drink and drug troubles. Speaking about her struggles, she said: "It got to a point where I had a major breakdown, ended up in The Priory twice, five weeks at a time, and then I self medicated on coke."She explained how her head was "so numb" and turned to drugs to escape. She said: "Because my head was so numb with stuff, my reaction was 'oh just another thing, just another thing,' which wasn’t normal to act."So that’s why I turned to something to escape from that, and mine ended up being the coke. This is why I can’t go back to my house, the times I’ve done coke there, all the parties there."Katie recalled how she wrote a "goodbye" letter to the drug. "People around me were doing stories that weren’t true and I was trying to get up for air and then being knocked down. It does get to you in the end."I thought, ‘Oh my God, I can’t do this’. I didn’t know how to deal with everything. I just wanted to sleep. I wanted to shut things out," she explained.Article continues below"I went to the doctor - I don’t know how I found the strength - and said, ‘I’m doing this cocaine. It’s taking over. I can’t cope with it.'" She later revealed she had penned a goodbye letter to the drugs to say they would "never get the better of her" again.*Frank offers confidential advice about drugs and addiction (email frank@talktofrank.com, message 82111 or call 0300 123 6600) or the NHS has information about getting help.Like this story?
