'I left the hospital and bought more vodka' - Michelle Heaton shares shocking pictures of her alcohol addiction

Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton has marked her road to sobriety by sharing shocking photos of the time she ended up in hospital after collapsing from her alcohol addiction. The 43-year-old, who will take to the ice for the 2023 series of Dancing On Ice, regularly shares about her battle with alcoholism and road to recovery to help others.
