Fergie discusses drug nightmare in interview

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie has admitted she was once so high on drugs she spent eight hours talking to a clothes hamper.

The singer's confession is published in July's edition of the fitness magazine Self.

An ex-crystal methamphetamine addict, Fergie reveals that she became so paranoid that she hid in the laundry basket.

She says: "I remember thinking somebody was inside of it, going to come and get me, so I was talking to the person who was crawling in the hamper."

The interview also delves into her experiences as a child actor and the extent of her additctions.

At one point, the singer estimates that she was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on the drug, and eating "maybe once every two days."

Now free from her dependency and with a highly successful solo career, she expresses hope that others can learn from her mistakes.

She adds: "Even when you feel like you're at your worst--because I went to that place, I went to hell and back--you can pick yourself up. You just have to make the right choices. Everything is a choice."
