TV presenter Trinny Woodall has revealed her battle with cocaine addiction – and fears her young daughter may follow in her footsteps.
The fashion guru and socialite, who is now dating Charles Saatchi, told how the drug and alcohol turned her into a ‘fake, lying, thieving, cheating person’.
Speaking at a recent debate on substance abuse, she said both she and former husband Johnny Elichaoff – a financial consultant who turned to prescription drugs – suffered from the ‘disease of addiction’ during their ten-year marriage. Continue
But she now worries that ten-year-old daughter Lyla could follow the same path. ‘It makes me question what I can do for my daughter,’ she said. ‘Her mother and her father both suffer from the disease of addiction. So what are her chances?
‘She could grow up and be perfect. I do believe it’s in her. I see elements in her behaviour that are addictive with things. I want to make sure she is nurtured, a nurtured human being.’
The 49-year-old claims the problem runs in her family, from her alcoholic grandfather – a former head of British Steel – to her brother Mark, who she said had dabbled with drugs.
