Fergie 'scolded for drugs admission'

Fergie has revealed that she gets scolded by her publicists every time she discusses her past drug problems in interviews.

The Black Eyed Peas star spoke yesterday of her pre-fame substance addictions, confessing that she used to "love ecstasy" and regularly take crystal meth.

She told The Times: "Sometimes publicists get really mad with me for talking about stuff like that - but I don't care.

"For me, it's something I went through. It's an epidemic, and it's important to talk about it because it's a very, very hard thing to stop."
