This time last year she found herself in the middle of a scandal after it was reported that she had had an affair with a married Premiership footballer.
Imogen Thomas was then branded a homewrecker and worse when it was revealed that Ryan Giggs was the sportsman in question but she denied that she had intended to blackmail him by going to the press about their relationship.
And she said that things got so bad that she had death threats, was scared to leave the house and even moved to try and get away from it.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Imogen, 29, also revealed that she contemplated suicide because she couldn't take the abuse any more.
She said: 'I was on antidepressants and I turned to alcohol. How can any girl cope with all that? I’d drink a bottle of wine a night, more if there was another bottle there.
'It was a way of making myself feel different. But with the drinking comes the tears.'
She admitted she was scared some would 'glass me' if she went out.
Imogen also revealed that she would call her mother telling her she couldn't take it any more but added: 'I never went as far as "I’m going to do it" – I couldn’t do that to my family, they mean so much to me.'
Imogen stressed that she doesn't want people to feel sorry for her and even though it's still raw, she is trying to move on and wants to put everything behind her.
Starting with a new romance, this time with Australian city trader Adam Horsley, who she met in a bar six months ago and who had no idea who she was.
She said: 'I don’t want to be with someone famous. I think you’ve got to have someone real, who’s down to earth and treats you the way you should be treated. I totally love Adam. He treats me like an absolute princess.'
Moving on: Imogen has been dating city trader Adam Horsley for six months now and is very happy
But Imogen said she is not the marrying kind and as much as she loves and cares for Adam, she has already warned him not to propose.
She said: 'I just want someone to tell me they love me. I really want kids, I can’t wait for that. I’d have kids any day but marriage scares me.'
And her last thoughts on her turbulent year? 'Everything happens for a reason', she said. 'I’m a strong believer in fate.
'There’s no point looking back. You go through life constantly making mistakes. You can’t look back and go, "I should have done this, I shouldn’t have done that".'
Cleared: Imogen outside the High Court in December after Ryan Giggs accepted that she hadn't tried to blackmail him
