NADIA Essex insisted she “was drunk” and “wasn’t on drugs” after her worrying video of her passing out went viral.
The presenter, 39, worried fans following a live video that saw her dip in and out of consciousness while shuffling around on her seat.
A snippet of the clip emerged on TikTok with fans asking if she’s okay in the comments and written over the video.
But mum-of-one Nadia insisted the clip was alcohol related – and wasn’t a seizure or drugs.
In a video on her Instagram on Monday morning, she lifted a bottle of water to the screen and said: “Here’s me drinking water, if only I’d done that on Saturday night.
“Guys, honestly, seriously, thank you so much for all your messages, I appreciate it.
“Everything is absolutely fine. I had a babysitter in, I let my hair down, I played drinking games. I thought I was one of the cool kids and I’m not cool.”
She added: “That’s it, I fell asleep. I was bloody exhausted. It’s very, very hard, trying to get through lockdown at the moment.
“I got bored, I forgot to turn off the live and went to sleep, that’s it.”
Clarifying it was not a seizure, she continued: “Everything’s good, thank you for the messages. Everything is ok.
“I did not have a seizure and I definitely did not take any drugs. I promise you. It was pure alcohol related.”
Nadia – who worked as a matchmaker on Celebs Go Dating until 2018 – welcomed her first child, Ezekiel, last year.
The star has been open about her fertility issues and was told by doctors she had less than one per cent chance of falling pregnant.
