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.
