TV’s Trinny Woodall says she feels lucky to have survived her drug-taking years when six of her addict friends died.
The beauty expert went into rehab to beat a cocaine habit when aged 21 and 26.
Trinny, now 61, shot to fame in 2001 hosting the What Not To Wear show on the BBC.
But in the December issue of Women’s Health, she said: “I felt relieved to be alive.
“I had six friends die in my first year of recovery.
“It’s difficult looking back.
“If I hadn’t gone through it, I might not be where I am today.
“We only learn when we’re challenged.”
Trinny, who has a daughter from her marriage to musician Jonathan Elichaoff, also said she was happy being single.
She added: “Being with my daughter, travelling and having dinner with people who fascinate me.
“If, along the way, I meet someone, great, but my priority isn’t, ‘I have to date’.
“When friends ask, ‘Have you met someone yet?’. I go, ‘No, and I don’t really give a s**t. By the way, how’s your boring husband?’.”
