EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Susannah Constantine’s daughter reveals her trouble with drink

Susannah Constantine has admitted she blacked out and broke her back at the lowest point of her battle with alcohol.

Now her daughter Esme Bertelsen, 23, has revealed she is facing her own struggles with booze.

“I drink a lot, not during the week because I know how it affects me, but when I go out drinking I just want to be up all the time,” says Esme, whose father is Susannah’s husband, Danish businessman Sten Bertelsen.

“If I have one drink, I drink it quickly and keep drinking because then I don’t have to think about controlling what I do next.”

In the ADHD Chatter podcast she says: ‘If I drink one pint I think: “Guys, what are we going to do now?”. I need to know what I’m going to do next.

“If they say, ‘No, we have to go home,’ that’s when I’m sober enough to face the actual reality of going to bed and thinking about things and my thoughts racing all the time.”

Esme has been diagnosed with ADHD and suffers from anxiety. She says alcohol helps her get a good night’s sleep without thinking too much.

‘When I’m so p***** I can go to bed and sleep without my mind wandering at night. It is freedom of my thinking. I don’t have to think about anything. So maybe I do have a problem.’

Susannah, 62, reveals a family history of struggles with drinking, saying in the podcast: ‘I was born an alcoholic, my mother was an alcoholic and my grandmother was an alcoholic.’

She talks about this openly with her children, adding: ‘I’m just saying that alcoholism is a genetic disorder and a mental disorder – drinking too much is a symptom and you could have the same gene.

“Be aware and if you’re worried, I’ve been through it, I have the medal, come to me.”

Lydon’s tune changes as he ‘looks at an MBE’

John Lydon has been accused by this former bandmate of sucking in the establishment to secure an honor

John Lydon sang about Queen Elizabeth’s ‘fascist regime’ in the Sex Pistols’ God Save The Queen.

But the punk band’s bassist Glen Matlock has accused him of joining the establishment to secure an honour.

After the queen’s death, Lydon described the song as “anti-royalist, but not anti-human.” Matlock says: ‘He tried to get an MBE but turned back. It’s quite anti-Establishment.’

As star of the hit film Nanny McPhee, she was among the unruly children who needed discipline from Dame Emma Thompson’s character.

And now Eliza Bennett has a baby of her own.

I hear the actress, 32, has given birth to her first child, a girl (whose name she has not revealed), with her husband.

She says of her birth: ‘My labor was not ideal – 40 hours long and ending in an emergency caesarean section – I was in shock for a while.’ However, Eliza, pictured on the far right, admits it was worth it for her “soft and adorable” baby.

Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks has expressed her anger at being prevented from taking a private plane to Britain and singing to her former bandmate on her deathbed.

Nicks, 76, said that before Christine McVie died two years ago at the age of 79, she wanted to fly over from America to see her in hospital.

However, Christine’s family said this would convince her she was on the brink of death. “My plan was to sit on her bed and sing Touched By An Angel,” says Nicks. “I couldn’t do that, and I was angry.”

Geldof is promoting Band Aid 40, a new version of Do They Know It’s Christmas?, which combines voices from the 1984 original with versions from 2004 and 2014.

But Band Aid II, featuring Sir Cliff Richard and Kylie Minogue, was not there.

Geldof suggested that this was because Stock’s co-producer Pete Waterman could not find the tape. Stock replies, “The thing is Sir Bob, while you were being criticized by the press, I was the one putting the thing together.”
