GEORGE HAD A BEER .. I HAD A COKE
ALEX DRUG CONFESSION
ALEX Best battled a secret cocaine addiction as ex-husband George succumbed to booze.
She hid her habit from the fallen football legend because he was anti-drugs. Ex-air stewardess Alex, 33, said: "Initially I had taken it as a way of getting over jet lag. But when the Press found out about our liaison, I used it to deal with stress."
Her habit spiralled when she and George first split in 1994. She said: "I took it to help me forget about him. Instead of once a week it would be three times, instead of once a night it would be two or three times."
Alex, whose nine-year marriage failed last year, quit when friends told her her habit was getting serious.
