Mary Coughlan admits she had to be picked up off the floor in the middle of the night after drinking instead of feeding her newborn

Iconic singer Mary Coughlan has confessed how her ex-husband Frank Bonadio found her passed out after she drank a bottle of tequila instead of feeding her newborn baby.

The singer has two children with Bonadio – Clare and Cian – before the couple split in 2003 after he told her he had an affair with their Spanish au pair.

But Mary - who was abused when she was a child by her grandfather and two extended family members - recalled her drinking habits while she was married to Bonadio, saying at one point he found her passed out from drinking in the middle of the night when she was supposed to be feeding newborn daughter, Clare.
