Her fun-filled family holiday comes after Michelle opened up on how she nearly lost her husband during her battle with alcoholism as she reflected on ‘burning bridges’.

The mother-of-two has been sober for four years after being hospitalised in 2021 during her battle with drink and drugs.

And while Michelle and Hugh are now more loved-up than ever, she admitted that their relationship wasn’t always smooth sailing due to her substance issues.

Speaking to OK! Magazine in December, she explained that at the height of her addiction she would continually tell the businessman to leave her and would often push him away. 

When asked if her addiction impacted her relationship with her husband, Michelle said: ‘Mᴀssively – my husband, thank God, never walked out. 

‘He knew I was in there somewhere, he was just waiting for me to find myself again. I’ve burnt bridges with friends – they couldn’t bear to see me self-destruct.

‘When you’re an alcoholic, you push people away because you feel like you don’t deserve love.’

Michelle explained that they now communicate very openly about her previous issues and have ‘answered a lot of questions’.

During the four years of her addiction Hugh – who she married in 2010 – has to disᴀssociate from her behaviour in a bid to ‘stay healthy for their family’.  

Dubbing him ‘Mr Perfect’, the songstress said she has a ‘very good man’ and saved her life but his messy behaviour at home does drive her crazy.     

At the height of her battle, the singer drank two bottles of wine and a bottle of vodka ‘virtually every day since 2018’, when an intervention led by Katie Price resulted in her checking herself into rehab.

She previously admitted to The Sun: ‘What I was doing was a suicide mission. I was crying out for help when I couldn’t actually ask for help. When you’re an addict, it feels like there’s no way out.

‘I hit rock bottom with the alcohol and had excruciating pains. My doctor could feel my liver sticking out because I was so thin.’ 

Michelle also told how she embarked on a ‘three year coke binge’ that saw her consuming a gram of cocaine a night alongside alcohol.

Discussing her friends’ intervention, she said: ‘I was shaking and I was crying. I was intoxicated. Katie Price said, “Right, you’re going to The Priory”.’

Katie has previously been a patient at The Priory as she battled her own demons.

Michelle was told by Priory staff that the level of the enzyme GGT – which indicates liver damage – in her blood was 2,5000 compared to a healthy person’s 30.

During the Christmas period of 2020, she was hospitalised following a mammoth drinking session in Liverpool, with the star needing to be put on a drip for 48 hours after blacking out.

However, after she was discharged she headed straight to the nearest off-licence and carried on drinking.

Weeks earlier, she had collapsed backstage at a theatre as she prepared to take to the stage for a performance, when she was left dangerously dehydrated by booze. 

Michelle previously said she feels ‘lucky to be alive’ after achieving sobriety, believing she has a guardian angel who watches over her.

She told new! magazine: ‘On paper, I really should have died years ago. But there’s an angel out there keeping an eye on me and I’m so grateful. 

‘Every day, I know I’m lucky to be alive and here for Faith and AJ.’
