'I probably would have ended my life': Kendra Wilkinson reveals she had suicidal thoughts after husband Hank Baskett's cheating scandal

Her marriage to Hank Baskett suffered a hit earlier this year, when it was alleged that he cheated on her with a transsexual model.

And now Kendra Wilkinson - mother of Hank Baskett IV and six-month-old Alijah - has revealed that she hit such a low point in the aftermath that she considered taking her own life.

She said: 'I was at a real low. I even questioned my life. If it wasn't for breastfeeding Alijah, the bond I had with her, I feel like I would have probably ended my life. I felt like I'm not even supposed to be here.'

Jessica Hall told The Sun: ‘She wanted to do it to prove to herself what a strong person she is, because she has had a tough year. She needed the time out.

'When it [the news of Hank's alleged cheating] came out, I never left Kendra's side. ‘I was there from step one and it was hard to watch as a friend.’

Hank is said to have slept with a transsexual model while Kendra was pregnant with the couple's second child, Alijah.

However, Jessica admits she's hoping Kendra and Hank will work things out once the TV star returns home.

‘It was out of control. But you have to remember there are two sides to every story,’ added Jessica. ‘I would love to see them make it work, because I adore both of them and they are terrific together. I'm rooting for Hank. And she is learning things all the time in the jungle.’

During her time on the ITV reality show, Kendra opened up about Hank's severe depression in a chat with her fellow campers.

When asked if she has regrets in her marriage, she said: 'The only thing I can really say is not paying attention to severe depression with my husband, I wished to God I had.'

Kendra then started crying and said: 'There is such a thing as depression you know and even a big guy like you [to Jake Quickenden], you have to hear people's cries and I didn't. He came to bed so many times crying and I wasn't there for him.'

Meanwhile, with Hank by her side, Kendra said in a recent interview with Us Weekly that they are 'happy' and that 'everything is great,' but admitted that 'it's going to take a lifetime to trust him again.'

Hank said: 'Our relationship is day-to-day. I'm still working on regaining Kendra's trust.'
