Kellie Maloney attempted suicide after transition struggle

Kellie Maloney attempted suicide after doubting her transition.

The \'Celebrity Big Brother\' star - who was known as Frank Maloney before transitioning to become a woman - admits there was one point where she nearly took her own life because she felt so "lonely and empty".

She said: "I was wondering, \'How could Frank do all these things and get people in his life while Kellie - who is a nicer person - can\'t have anyone in her life and will never meet anyone to share her life with. So I just thought, I don\'t want to live this lonely life any more. I had a good life, but I just felt empty, and when you\'re lying in a room, it\'s dark, you\'re flicking through photos on a telephone, you\'re quite drunk then suddenly you think there\'s an easy way out. I don\'t even know what tablets I was taking - anything I could find. I actually even took some painkillers which were for my dogs."

Kellie Maloney reveals she was rushed to hospital due to stress

And the 66-year-old former boxing promoter admits there was a stage where she felt she had "really messed up" her life.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper\'s Bizarre column, she added: "I was going through three bottles of wine a night. One evening it just all got too much. I went to a local ­restaurant and sat there crying. I felt like I\'d really messed up my whole life, and even worse my daughters\' lives ...

"I woke in the night and all I could do was cry. I thought, \'What have I done? I\'ve got nothing in my life any more.\' By this time Frank has gone. I\'ve lost that, but it was regret over all of the sacrifices that had come with it ... I lay there that night and I was looking at pictures of Frank - I still have some on my phone. And I was looking at pictures of Kellie. I could see Kellie had a smile which Frank never had, but for some reason there was still something missing."
