She explained: "I was so depressed all the time with everything. And one day my boyfriend was just gone. I was like, 'I didn't even know you at all then'.

"He had his reasons, and I wasn't very easy to live with at the time, because I was depressed about the way I looked, not being able to make money, I felt like I was letting him and my kids down. He didn't see it like that, but in the end it was just too much.

"I did relapse. I thought my whole world was over when he left."

Asked if she had overdosed, Danniella said: "I tried to overdose a lot when George walked out. "

As Phil asked what went through her head for her to want to end her life, the actress replied: "I felt like I'd let everybody down. I couldn't earn money, I couldn't do the jobs that were being offered to me, that I'd wanted for years."

She added: "When you relapse and take drugs, you don't see that, All you see is selfishness and a way out. You carry on taking drugs until you get to that point when you're so low and on such a comedown that you're just like 'I just want to kill myself'. It's the most selfish horrible thing."

The star's friends eventually intervened and called her an ambulance, and she admitted: "I thank the Lord for them."

Danniella insisted she didn't overdose on cocaine, but instead took tablets.

As Phil asked if she took the cocaine she relapsed on through her nose, Danniella replied: "No, it was orally."
