Janice Dickinson has opened up about her past pill use in a conversation with Lou Diamond Phillips on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.

The former supermodel admitted that she turned to the drugs as a coping mechanism following her separation from her husband.

"After that happened, I started taking copious amounts of pills because I was just so sad," she explained.

"All I really wanted was to have a family and I couldn't get it. I went crazy. I had sex with [Sylvester] Stallone, I had sex with this guy I was dating. Then I got pregnant."

Dickinson went on to say that she was forced to take a DNA test after being unsure of who the father was, and was then too scared to tell him for seven years.

"I raised my daughter and did the best I could as a single parent," she said. "It's so tough."

Phillips later told the Hut Cam that he felt "honoured" that Dickinson had trusted him enough to talk about her children.

Dickinson was recently removed from the Costa Rican jungle by ambulance in order to receive medical care. Sources have since claimed that she has returned to the camp after being treated for a viral infection.
