“I don’t want to slag her off. She was my mum, warts and all. She wasn’t perfect. And she did make me, in so many ways, who I am.
“She was party central, but also, I’m at pains to say, along with being quite a chaotic parent, she was really f***ing fun.
“She was spontaneous. I’m not very good at that. I feel like I’m such a wild woman when I’m spontaneous, because I’m a planner.
“I like to be organised, because my mum was very chaotic. So it makes me feel safe when I go: ‘OK, next Christmas we’ll…’ And I do that in January.”
Admitting that she probably never needed drugs, McCall then said: “But actually, I had a hole here (she puts her hands on her heart) and drugs filled that.
“And eventually I’ve kind of put sticky tape over each f***king hole, and probably each therapy session I go to is like another bit of tape.
