Katie Price begged to be an inpatient at The Priory.

The 42-year-old star recalls how she was struggling so much that she insisted the mental health care facility took her in as she feared she would end her life.
Explaining how she reached rock bottom, she said: "I'd always tell people I'm fine when inside I'm crying but I'd never say it.
"I went to The Priory and booked in and said, 'I don't want to leave here, I want to be an inpatient, help me to sort out my head, this is my last chance to do it, I don't want to die, I don't want to kill myself, help me.'"
And Katie insists it is the "best thing" she has ever done.
She told the Mirror Online: "And it's the best thing I've ever done, I feel so good now, that's why I feel I've met Carl now because I know what I want, I know what I deserve, and when I'm happy the ship runs well."
Meanwhile, Katie previously admitted she had thoughts about ending her life.
She said: "I had thoughts of killing myself. That's how bad it got for me but you guys don't know that because Katie Price always puts on a brave face. Believe it or not, 'Loose Women' was my breaking point. I don't know how on earth I used to do it when really I was ill, I was suffering.
"Now I'd love to do Loose Women or shows because I'm such a different person and it's all from being in The Priory ... I'm not proud of it but I had nobody close to me to talk to, they’d all betrayed me at some point, there were few people I could trust. I wanted to keep everything in and couldn’t talk. I just wanted to sleep. I was weak ... and I let a drug get the better of me and I let people use me. Then I had a wakeup call ... if I don't get help I'm going to die or self destruct. l had lost me, the kids had lost their mum, nobody believed in me anymore."
