What an example !! Davina tells her kids heroin is "fantastic"

[Trout]

BIG Brother presenter Davina McCall told her young daughter Holly that heroin was "fantastic".

In a bizarre bid to put the eight-year-old off drugs, ex-addict Big Brother presenter Davina McCall told her it gives people such a good feeling they want to take it again and become addicted.

The glamorous mum-of-three said she wanted to have an open, honest relationship with her children about her past.

That means talking frankly about the dangers of drink and drugs.

Davina, 42, whose biological mother was an alcoholic, still attends 12-step fellowship meetings to help with recover from addiction. She told Easy Living magazine: "I have generally found that if you have an open relationship with your children, those really massive conversations, drugs, sex, alcohol, happen naturally.

"Holly, my eldest, has asked me questions about alcoholism.

"I explained it's an addiction, that granny was an alcoholic and it's a very sad thing.

"Recently, because of something on Radio 1, we had to have a drugs conversation. Holly asked me: 'What do they feel like?'

"If I told her that heroin didn't feel nice and then she tried it and it did, she'll think: 'Oh Mum was lying.'

"But if I say: 'Heroin is so fantastic you'll want to take it again, then you'll get addicted, which is horrible,' that's honest and more frightening.

"Wait until they ask and tell them the truth."Asked how she will ensure her children will not have as wild a life as she did, she replied: "Honesty, open-mindedness and knowing I cannot ensure that they don't."

The mum said all she can do is arm them with the self-confidence to make the right decisions.

She added: "You do that by giving them the confidence to refuse, to be the kid who says no to the joint going around. You have to be ballsy."

Davina said she stopped eating for a while when she was younger as she was taking so many drugs.

She added: "There was a moment when I said to myself: 'I can't do this any more. I'm going to stop taking drugs and stop drinking.'"
