Danielle Lloyd Drank To Cope With Depression

'I Drank To Cope With Depression'

Danielle Lloyd has revealed she hit the bottle after she was plunged into a dark depression following the premature birth of her second son.

The model has been through a series of tough ordeals over the past year. She battled to save her relationship with footballer fiance Jamie O'Hara as he faced a career-threatening injury and her second son, Harry, struggled to survive after he was born with a hole in his heart. Doctors also recently discovered a blood clot in Danielle's chest which could have killed her.

So it's little surprise the WAG succumbed to the heavy stresses in her life and turned to booze to cope.

"I'd tell myself I deserved that glass of wine after a stressful day. It was my reward, a way to unwind and relax. But then that glass turned into two and it quickly got to the point where I was drinking a bottle of wine every single night."

However, Jamie put aside the couple's troubles and encouraged Danielle to see her GP to get help for her issues.

The star also admits she's still finding it difficult to remain positive, adding: "It's been horrendous. Every time I think I'm getting back on my feet, something else comes to knock me down again. I'm a good person. I just don't know what I've done to deserve all this."
