Reality TV star admits to ‘dropping the ball' with daughter

Millie Mackintosh, a reality TV star best known for Made In Chelsea, appeared on the Life Of Bryony podcast where she opened up about her struggles with alcoholism.

She recalled a specific incident where she forgot her daughter’s nativity play and after rushing there, arrived just as it began.

“I forgot my daughter’s nativity. Her first one at school. I somehow just missed it, I had so many things in my diary and she'd been talking to me about being an angel and then it just clicked and I was like s*** it's today,” she explained.

Mackintosh added, “I felt awful and I was just like god I've dropped the ball, so I legged it there and when I got there it had just started and I didn't get a seat but I was there standing at the back.”

Giving advice to people who are similarly struggling, she stated, “It's brutally hard but you have to be kind to yourself, and I'm telling myself this as well. You have to be kind to yourself and be like its okay not to love it every day, it's okay to f*** up. It's okay not to be a perfect parent. None of us are.”

Revealing how her struggles with alcohol led to her getting into conflicts with other people, the Made in Chelsea star explained, “I just remember a night where you would go over to a mum's house, there would maybe be like eight of you there, and it would be an episode of like Desperate Housewives Of Chiswick where I'd suddenly be in a catfight with some woman I had just met.”

“And then trying to get home and can't get the keys in the lock, waking Hugo [Taylor] up and the baby and you're just like a complete mess,” she added.

After deciding to make a change, Mackintosh went to see a sober coach. After her success, she took to her social media a few months earlier to celebrate two years of sobriety.
