The former glamour model has been separated from her husband Tom Williams due to his work commitments in Las Vegas, which is allegedly creating a strain on their five-year marriage.
The 32-year-old has been so stressed that she was rushed to hospital after collapsing during a business meeting, with friends telling a UK newspaper that she has been unable to stomach food.

"Then five days later, he told Nicola he was going back to Vegas. She's been feeling suicidal ever since he left - she has old medication in her house to cope with her bulimia and has told pals she's thought about taking all the pills in one go."
"She was hospitalised for a day last week in a state of stress and now she's not sleeping or eating. She feels like this has all come completely out of the blue."
The revelations come after a video was leaked showing ex-footballer Tom ‘flirting’ with a brunette in a Las Vegas nightclub.
Nicola told The Mirror that she is ‘beyond devastated’ after seeing the clip.
