It looks like Kayla McIntyre has finally woken up and smelled the coffee, or, as she comes from England, tea. After being charged with a DUI, proposedly having an affair with the producer of the U.K. hit The Beach House, and losing her hosting gig on the U.S. version of the show to housemate Riddick Ulose, Kayla is finally telling her side of the story to the London tabloids.

Her side of the story? She has a drinking problem. No kidding!

According to the tabloids McIntyre has been a functional alcoholic for several years now. She was in control (as much as an alcoholic can be in control) until she joined the cast of The Beach House. Once she got chummy with her housemates her control began to slip, which led to some of the more wilder escapades on the show and her eventual problems once she left. She also addressed the rumors of her so-called affair with The Beach House producer. She explained that it was a one-time fling and there was no additional favoritism given to her during the show's vote out sessions. The producer had no comment.

As to her dismissal from the U.S. version of the show, Kayla wishes both Ulose and the show the best of luck and believes that it's a good thing to distance herself from any form of the show while she works to cleanse herself of the addiction.
