Katie Price has said that she attempted suicide after hitting ‘rock bottom’ following her drink-driving arrest.
Back in September 2021, the 44-year-old flipped her car during an accident near her home in Sussex. She was slapped with a 16-week prison sentence suspended for 12 months, a two-year driving ban and 100 hours of community service after admitting to drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance.
Now, in a recent interview, the former glamour model revisited the horrific moment, as well as her battle with mental health issues.
Taking to Mark Dolan Tonight on GB News, the mother-of-five revealed that she undergoes weekly therapy sessions and spoke about the tragic revelation that she no longer wanted to live during her lowest point.
During her interview, Katie said: “What I want from the future is to definitely make a comeback and prove to people I can, because I've been there, and I've told my story.
“Literally, I hit rock bottom. It was that bad that I tried to commit suicide, but I've come up from that. You can get out of that rut. If I can do it, you can do it.”
The media personality previously revealed that she felt suicidal after her DUI arrest, admitting that she ‘let herself down’ after committing the crime.
Katie immediately checked herself into The Priory following her arrest.
Recalling how she made it past feeling suicidal, Katie told viewers: “Remember, nothing is that bad. It's just when you're in that bad place your mind ruminates and you think you can't get out of that rut, but you can do it. If I can do it, you can do it.”
Her revelation comes as the star recently revealed her latest tattoo after spending a whopping seven hours in the tattoo chair.
The latest inking is a detailed portrait of daughter Princess Andre , 15, and is believed to be the start of a tattoo series where the 44-year-old will get all five of her children adorned on her body.
