Speaking openly to Tamzin Outhwaite and Julie Graham on the Yahoo podcast White Wine Question Time, Myleene said: “I remember waking up and thinking it’s OK to have a drink at 11am, because you haven’t had a drink in five hours.”
The 40-year-old, who married Graham in front of just 16 guests in October 2011, revealed: “I was doing breakfast TV and I went to get out the car and I thought, ‘I can’t’… I was right in the middle of the divorce…
“And I opened the door, and I couldn’t get out the car. I couldn’t breathe. Finances were spiralling because I thought, ‘I’m going to lose everything.'”

Myleene, who has two daughters Ava, 11 and seven-year-old Hero, confessed she got so low her friend Lauren Laverne rushed to her house in the early hours to check on her.
She said: “Lauren (Laverne) came and visited me at four in the morning, that’s how low I was. I didn’t want it (divorce) to define me, but it did change me irrevocably. I’ve never been in the position where I’ve had to ask people for help.
“The humiliation, you’ve got people looking at you, blaming you without a clue as to what the [bleep] is going on…”

The former I’m A Celebrity star, who is now dating PR Simon Motson, previously spoke out about her regrets following the split.
She told The Mirror: “I married a convicted drug dealer and didn’t sign a pre-nup. What was I thinking? When I say that sentence aloud, I realise how stupid it was…
“I just wish I had listened to my dad, my friends and everyone in the papers. Everyone could hear alarm bells except me. I should have just opened my eyes.”
However, Graham, a former celebrity bodyguard, hit back tweeting: “Thank you for once again slandering my name in the papers to promote yourself…”
