RUINED LIVES ARE LEGACY OF COKE

COCAINE has been the downfall of many stars.

They get hooked on the showbiz party circuit. But the euphoric highs end up
dragging the beautiful people to terrible lows.

Last week, former Brit Award winner Shola Ama told how her UKP 1000-a-week
coke habit had ruined her singing career.

Former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook shocked Britain when pictures
showed the drug had eaten away a chunk of her nose.

The 30-year-old needed surgery to rebuild her septum and went into drug
rehab to beat her demons.

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, 32, also had to beat her cocaine addiction before
becoming a star of I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!

And Glasgow-born London's Burning star John Alford, 32, was jailed for nine
months in 1999 for supplying cannabis and cocaine.

Last year, Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Bosnich was sacked after he tested
positive for coke.

And former Scotland striker Frank McAvennie, 44, has two convictions for
drugs possession.

When caught in with a small amount of cocaine at Glasgow Airport, the
ex-Celt infamously told a cop: 'It's just a wee bit of charlie.'

Scots actress Laura Fraser, 28, says she only agreed to do sleazy roles to
fund her champagne and cocaine-fuelled lifestyle.
