Byline: CAMERON ROBERTSON

Kelly said: "Painkillers weren't the only drugs I did towards the end - there wasn't a second in a 24-hour day that I wasn't high on something.

"I felt f***ing horrible, I'd shake and throw up, my body would ache so bad until I got the opportunity to use again. I was utterly miserable."
