Katie Price's ex-husband Kieran Hayler has said that he worries she will "end up dead" if she is unable to overcome her drink and drugs issues.
The 43-year-old was arrested on Tuesday morning after flipping her car in Sussex and subsequently tested positive for cocaine and was also found to be over the legal alcohol limit.
Price has since entered rehab clinic The Priory and in the meantime Hayler is looking after their two children Jett, eight and Bunny, seven.
"I would never let Kate look after the children if I knew she was taking cocaine," Hayler told the Daily Mail. "If anybody knew more, they would have stepped in to try and help sooner. She's kept it all to herself and that's why it's got so bad.
"It's difficult to answer if she has a problem or is an addict because I don't know. It's not something that existed in our marriage.
"Tuesday could have been a lot worse than it was. Luckily, she wasn't hurt and nobody else was hurt. It's come to a point where enough is enough really."
He added: "A lot has happened recently, and I felt like 'oh God, not another thing, when is the drama going to stop?' And then I feel sad because this woman has been through a lot recently and now it's another thing.
"How much more can somebody take before they break? If Kate carries on like this, she's going to end up dead."
After her stint at The Priory, Price is due to return to court on December 15 for sentencing, where she faces a potential prison term.
