Michelle previously explained she had been offered TV gigs in recent years, however due to drinking she was not ‘in a fit state’ to take part.
The singer said she was not in a healthy place ‘both mentally and physically’ but is now the happiest she has been for a while.
She is celebrating 17 months of sobriety after checking into The Priory in April last year in a bid to beat her alcohol addiction.
Speaking about her four weeks in rehabilitation, Michelle admitted: ‘I was so scared that day but I knew I had nothing left. I was trapped in the four walls of my disease and I had nowhere to turn.’

Michelle previously revealed she did not go for a day without alcohol for three years before she checked into rehab .
At the height of her ordeal, she was drinking two bottles of wine and a bottle of vodka a day, with things becoming so bad that she felt she ‘wanted to die’.
She’s since kicked her drinking habit after following the 12 Step Programme and regularly attends AA meetings.
While she admits she’s always been a ‘heavy drinker’, the mum-of-two told how she thinks her spiral into alcoholism was possibly sparked by her menopause, stating an ‘internal switch’ happened at the time and she became ‘dependent’ on alcohol.
She underwent a hysterectomy in 2012 and a double mastectomy in 2015, to reduce her risk of cancer, which resulted in her experiencing an early menopause.
