Well, personally, I think it was drugs. I know lots of people who take substances, and appear the same as her. Slurred speach, paranoia, arguementative, and yet apologetic. Seen it loads of times.

How sad, I just watched the video of this mornings interview. What ever her problem, that girl needs help - how could they let her go on air like that?

Hope she gets some help now.

I didnt see it.
Sounds like she has problems ;((

OH says the drug she says she took can affect the speech.I say she should never havebeen allowed to do that interview this morning.Shame on the people that let it go ahead.She obviously is a troubled woman with problems and should not be paraded on T V like she was today.

If she does have bipolar syndrome, or manic depression as it used to be called, I think she showed signs of being in the manic phase. Poor girl. Very undignified for her - they should have noticed and not done the interview. I know a few people who suffer from this.

It wasn't really only her speech that was all out.......it was her actions and movements as well.

IF it was to do with the tablets she was on then they should've made their excuses and stopped her from appearing. This has done her no favours whatsoever. xx

I'll apologise if I'm wrong but I was under the impression she'd been diagnosed bipolar, and had admitted to being addicted to coke & alcohol in the past.

These things unfortunately do very often go hand in hand, although they definitely don't go together well, and I'm not saying for 1 minute that all with bipolar have a drug habit, or vice versa.

But if that is the case, nobody will be able to "tell" her or advise her, and it won't be the effects of her daily diagnosed medication, it will be the effects of her "self-medication"

It's a horrible thing, but the people who really need telling are the dregs of society who sell the stuff.

Sorry to rant, it's all a bit close.

Love & strength to all who are fighting against similar demons

Broggy ,I totally agree with what you say ,but I do think that they should not have broadcast that interview this morning.It was obvious that Fern Britton and Phillip Schoffield were put in a very awkward position by interviewing her in the state she was.
The poor girl should not have been there.

Thanks,I've just looked at it, :((
Not helping her self by appearing on tv.

Just watched this interview, and her management should be pulled over the coals for allowing her to do it.

Whatever the facts, it's clear the poor girl needs help and guidance, and I think Phillip and Fern handled it with tact and diplomacy.

Yes Helen I agree with you.

But as Barbara said earlier, it sells papers and catches the attention of viewers.

Don't get me wrong, I feel for her and don't blame her at all. She shouldn't have been interviewed.

They looked very awkard ,but did well under the circumstances.

Oh dear, I have just watched it and told myself before hand that I would judge it fairly and say if I thought it was medication, IMO it does seem as though she is drunk - yes the slurred words could be medication but for me it was the body language that made me think that she was drunk more than anything

I feel for her -

I think she was too jerky for it to be alcohol.To me that was drug related movements.Not that I am an expert ,but I don't think it was alcohol .I just felt rather sad that they did that interview.

i seen it now...i think drugs not drink.maybe they have that effect.

I don't think she's drunk. She does seem distinctly manic so maybe her medication isn't working right (if she's taking it) or maybe she's self-medication with cocaine or speed. It's very sad, her management really shouldn't have let her do the interview. Poor woman.

I felt so sorry for her, I think her agent should be ashamed for exploiting her , she was in such a bad way, not drunk ,I know the medication has that effect, now the media will crucify her, like they did with brit spears, they dont give a thought to the children or the family. I do hope she gets the help she needs.....

They're making a bit of a statement now on This Morning.

i feel sorry for her
marc must have new what way she was in
and never allowed her to do the show
