<\/p>\nS Club 7 singer Hannah Spearritt has revealed that she got addicted to painkillers and went into rehab after botched boob surgery.<\/p>\n
The 42-year-old pop star said getting breast implants in 2013 was the 'worst mistake of her life' in extracts from her new book Facing The Music. She said that she'd considered getting the surgery for 10 years and had become body conscious because of magazine and video shoots which put the "spotlight" on her.<\/p>\n
She explained she compared herself to curvier models such as Katie Price and even her bandmates such as Rachel Stevens and Jo O'Meara. Hannah had also been airburshed in her first lads' mag to appear as if she had more curves. <\/p>\n

The singer, who went out with late bandmate Paul Cattermole, said that getting implants would make her more confident and improve her life. But it went terribly wrong and left her unable to walk and suffering panic attacks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In extracts from her book obtained by The Sun, she wrote: "I started getting every symptom under the sun, and even my personality changed. I was put on so many different drugs. When I look back on that time, I just don\u2019t recognise myself.<\/p>\n
"I was sleeping for hours at a time, or having panic attacks out of nowhere. Things got so bad we had to set my bedroom up on the ground floor because I couldn\u2019t walk up the stairs any more.<\/p>\n

"My partner Adam often had to help me physically get around. At my lowest ebb he had to carry me. My reality felt worse than a death sentence at times because I didn\u2019t know if it would ever stop.<\/p>\n
"There were times when I thought about ending it all. Lying awake with insomnia all night, not able to get up the next day and forced to lie in bed, exhausted and isolated, in unbearable pain and discomfort, near on every day for four years."<\/p>\n

Hannah recalls how in 2015, the time of the first S Club reunion tour, she was prescribed a strong anxiety drug called pregabalin which helped at first. She looked "really ill" on the pills but her bandmates didn't know everything that was going on.<\/p>\n
She finally got off of the medication after being sent to rehab, which she says probably wasn't the best idea for her at the time. And she felt "instantly" better when she got her breast implants removed in 2017.<\/p>\n
However, she reckons she's spent over \u00a3100k on things such as tests, hospital visits, doctors' fees and removing the implants. Hannah described it as "monumental waste" of money and that it was mostly covered by her earnings from the S Club tour.<\/p>\n
