Charlotte Church: I was angry with Mum for overdose

She tells of horror at finding unconscious mother

Charlotte Church admits she was furious with her mother after she apparently tried to take her own life.

Maria, who took a mixture of sleeping pills and paracetamol after finding out about her husband's affair with a family friend in November 2005, was found by her daughter.

She was admitted to Llandough Hospital in Cardiff for emergency treatment.

'It was a tough time. I was angry because I thought she'd tried to kill herself,' pregnant Chaz, 21, admits.

'But she said all she had wanted to do was sleep for a few days to forget about what had happened.'

And the singer blames the other woman.

'If I saw her today, I'd poke her eyes out,' she reveals, 'because she was the cause of so much pain.'
