Michelle Heaton shares 'painful' photos from extent of alcohol battle as she marks 14 months sober

MIchelle Heaton has shared a series of painful photos from her alcohol battle and rehabilitation as she marks 14 months sober and aims to help others struggling with addiction.

Having struggled massively with the country being in lockdown, Liberty X star Michelle is reported to have used 'alcohol' as a crutch, before tackling her issues by checking into famous clinic The Priory.
