She went on: ‘I did hit rock bottom. I’ve tried to kill myself. I could not have got any more bottom than I did.
‘But I’ve come up and am sorting myself out. There’s more to come from me, and I plan to be bigger and better.’
Elsewhere in the interview, Price said money was the ‘root of all evil’ as she publicly struggles with an ongoing bankruptcy ordeal.
‘I’ve had money and then lost money and it is not not everything in the world,’ she told host Farage.
‘In fact, it’s the root of all evil in my life,’ she said. You know, I’ve had to pay this person, that person, then that person. You realise who your real friends are when you go through a tough time.’
