Michelle Heaton would ‘wake up and buy vodka’ instead of school-run amid booze battle

Michelle Heaton is one of the stars taking part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins but this is far from the first tough battle the former Liberty X singer has had to face

Michelle Heaton is one of the brave stars taking part in the hugely anticipated new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. Alongside disgraced former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, TOWIE’S James Argent, ex-footballer Jermaine Pennant and reality star Danielle Lloyd she will be pushed to her limits on Channel 4 tonight.

But this is not the first intense battle former Liberty X singer has faced after she bravely overcome alcoholism two years ago and shared her incredibly frank admissions about her time drinking and the devastating impact it had on both her health and her family. The singer revealed that during the height of her battle with alcoholism, she would wake up in the mornings and head straight to the local off-license of supermarket to buy vodka instead of taking her kids to school.

The 44-year-old, who shares children, Faith, and Aaron, with husband Hugh Hanley had only one thing on her brain when she woke from her slumber every morning – and that was downing as much booze as she could. It got to the stage where Michelle’s helpless husband feared she would end up dead if he didn’t stand by her as she battled her crippling alcohol addiction.

Hugh knew that if he made the gut-wrenching decision to leave Michelle after 11 years of marriage, their kids would suffer unbearable consequences as they risked losing their mother for good. Although Michelle had been drinking heavily for a number of years, at the end of 2019 and all throughout 2020, the star hit rock bottom amid her battle.
