Katie Price drugs hell: Secret heartache is driving her to destruction

After her shock cocaine confession, Katie Price's wild nights out spark concern among her inner circle of friends

She’s appeared to be on a downward spiral following her split from husband Kieran Hayler, indulging in a string of wilds nights out with new boyfriend Kris Boyson and sparking fears for her health after reportedly dropping to a tiny size 4.

And last week, Katie Price showed no signs of slowing down as she was pictured partying until the early hours with Kris at a nightclub in Devon after being hit by shock claims that she’d taken cocaine to cope with her recent marriage collapse. Days later, she was pictured partying miles away from her Sussex home at a London bar.

Now sources say pals are urging the mum-of-five – who recently confirmed her children Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, were living with dad Peter Andre amid reports he had grown concerned for over her “out of control behaviour” and had even requested she take a drugs test - to get help to cope with the fallout of her broken marriage.

A source says: "Everyone was shocked, it was so out of character for her and it's made her inner circle worry about her state of mind. Katie's always been anti-drugs ever since she dabbled with them when she suffered post-natal depression after having Junior.

"Her family and friends are completely baffled by the revelations but it's highlighted just how much pressure she's been under and how much of a dark place she was in after ending things with Kieran.

"The big fear for her now is the fallout from her drugs confession. Not only could it destroy her reputation but she worries it will cause more issues between her and Pete and that's the last thing she wants given the situation with the kids right now. She's going through hell."

A video from Jordan's night in a Devon bar was shared online last week, showing her singing and swearing into the microphone in front of crowds of club goers.

The source added: "Everyone's begging her to get some help for the stress she's been under and to do it sooner rather than later before something tragic happens. She's got to work through some deep rooted issues rather than just masking them with alcohol and wild nights out which only hides the pain temporarily."
