The Jeremy Kyle Show guest Michelle Wallace shocked fans when she appeared on the show in 2018, but has now turned her life around and looks incredible.
Michelle told Jeremy she had been addicted to heroin for 20 years and appeared worryingly frail with sunken cheeks on the now-axed show.
However, today the mum is celebrating three years of being sober from drugs and looks a world away from her former self.
Sporting a healthy glow, shoulder-length blonde hair and a smart red manicure, Michelle's stunning transformation is an inspiration.
The show's former psychotherapist posted a before and after pic of Michelle on Instagram coupled with her heartfelt statement.
It read: “This time three years ago was when the Jeremy Kyle team came to my flat in Walsall to do a recording of me in my flat. I was so frightened I didn't know what to expect, I had hit rock bottom, my flat windows were smashed through, it also looked like a crack den and my drug use was so out of control.
“I had given up on life, I just wanted to die. I didn't want to live anymore, I couldn't live the life I was living anymore, so I'm so blessed that my beautiful princess emailed the show as she knew her mum was in there somewhere. I just needed help, but I didn't know where to turn.
“So I was on the way to the Manchester hotel, so scared, but wanting this so much. I knew everyone would see my show and I didn't care as that's my story from the start of my journey to going to rehab on the 15/11/18, to what I've achieved today, is amazing."
Michelle added that she was finally at peace now that she has her "family back".
She is also looking forward to getting married next year.
She wrote:“I'm a mum, nan, sister, daughter, aunt, cousin, and it's all thanks to me finding a solution and using the tools that's put in front of me.
"I'm also coming up to three years clean on 1/12/21 I ain't took a drink or drug since, we can recover.
“I've got so much to look forward to as I'm getting married next April to the man of my dreams.
“Thank you to everyone that believed in me. I put my hands up today for all the wrongs and people I’ve hurt but I make amends today. I look at my part, not blaming people, cause I was so good at that, but I will never close the door on my past that's what made me the woman I am today.”
Michelle's post caused an outpouring of support with one writing: "Congratulations! You have done absolutely amazing. All thanks to JK and his team."
The Jeremy Kyle Show was taken off air in 2019 following a guest's death shortly after recording.
Steve Dymond was tragically found dead just days after failing a lie detector test on the show.
