The Gogglebox star revealed that she once medicated with booze to cope back in 2011.
Angie spoke to WHO magazine about her struggles in January last year.
Angie claimed that at age 21, she ‘would work 15-hour days, was ridiculously underweight [and] hardly slept due to being so anxious about trying to be perfect at everything, especially work’.

She continued: ‘When it came to having a day off, I would binge drink like a mad woman, and ultimately managed to start a fight with all my nearest and dearest.
‘[This was] because my subconscious was wanting me to vent one way or another, after trying to be to so damn perfect, kind, giving [and] always there to solve everyone’s problems, day in, day out.
‘So there is lesson No. 1. Numbing your pain with booze isn’t the answer.’
