‘You are like a different women from the one I seen on TV, loving life well done’
A woman who was a guest on The Jeremy Kyle Show looks unrecognisable and is full of life, four years after she appeared on the programme desperately seeking help to beat drug addiction.
Michelle Wallace, a former sex worker from Walsall, appeared on the show in 2018, and told how she had battled a heroin addiction for two decades.
Michelle’s daughter had reached out to the show for help.
The former prostitute featured on the episode named: ‘My prostitute sister blames our dad for her 20-year addiction.’
Michelle was stick-thin, had sunken cheeks and her collar bones jutted out when she appeared on the show.
But in a series of TikToks posted this week, Michelle has completely turned her life around, and looks, high – on life.
Taking to social media platform TikTok, Michelle uploaded an image of herself smiling at the camera.

She also uploaded an image of a cake which was piped with icing that read: “4 years congratulations”, to celebrate being sober for four years.
She wrote: “Celebrating my four years clean off out tomorrow for a meeting then a meal.”
One TikTok user replied to her video: “Well done Michelle proud of ya girl here’s to the next 4 yrs”, while another wrote: “You go girl!! Your living life how you want to & that’s a credit to you, be so proud of you as we all are.”
On a later video, of Michelle dancing, one person wrote: “Well done you, you should be so so proud of what you have achieved, live your life to the fullest.”
Another added: “You are like a different women from the one i seen on tv loving life well done.”
Michelle had returned to the show in 2019, a year after her initial appearance, to document her progress, the Mirror noted.
She praised the show for helping her and the show’s psychologist, Graham Stanier, later posted a statement from Wallace about what care she received courtesy of the talk show.
It read: “This time three years ago was when the Jeremy Kyle team came to my flat in Walsall to do a recording of me in my flat. I was so frightened, I didn’t know what to expect. I had hit rock bottom, my flat windows were smashed through, it also looked like a crack den.
“My drug use was so out of control I had given up on life, I just wanted to die. I didn’t want to live anymore, I couldn’t live the life anymore, so I’m so blessed that my beautiful princess emailed the show as she knew her mum was in there somewhere.”
