Chatting about joining the show after celebrating 18 months sober, she added: "I've always wanted to do it and I've always had my name in the mix but I know that I would never have been able to complete anything because of the way my body was and the way I was 18 months ago. I'm really truly grateful that I didn't get it back then and that I've got it this year when I'm a lot stronger and able to commit to it and do everything that I can."
Michelle is known for being a member of the pop group Liberty X, who gained international success in the early 2000s from their hit song Just a Little.
