In April this year, she went on a three-day-long cocaine bender, and was later rushed to The Priory for rehab.
Close celebrity friends, including Katie Price had intervened to get Michelle help with her addictions.
'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' she told The Sun, just 36 hours after leaving rehab.
At the end of June, Michelle proudly revealed she was 60 days sober.
She took to her Instagram to share the great news with her 231K followers, writing: 'Today I am 60 days clean and sober.'
She also took to to social media last month to praise husband Hugh Hanley, who she married in 2010.
She called him her 'rock, best friend and biggest supporter.'
