Chanelle Hayes overdoses
Friday, 7 August 2009
Chanelle Hayes has been hospitalised after taking an overdose of painkillers and red wine.
The former 'Big Brother' contestant was taken to Pinderfields Hospital in Yorkshire, after downing red wine and Paracetamol "out of frustration" following an argument with her boyfriend, soccer player Matthew Bates.
A source said: "Chanelle has been having boyfriend troubles with Matt. They had been arguing a lot.
"She took the Paracetamol and red wine out of frustration at how badly things were going. She was in a terrible way."
Chanelle was reportedly not breathing when medics turned up to her home in Wakefield, West Yorks.
Neighbours said the couple, who started dating earlier this year, can often be heard having furious arguments.
One said: "They have been having furious rows lately - you can hear the shouting from the street. It sounds like they've been having a pretty rough time."
A spokesperson for Chanelle - who shot to fame on series eight of the fly-on-the-wall reality show - said: "We'll be monitoring the situation and will be there for her as much as possible."
Her family were said to be too shocked to comment on her condition.
