An ex-reality TV star has opened up about her crippling $5,000-a-week drug addiction that left her 'deeply ashamed' and put her behind bars. 

Onetime Beauty and The Geek runner-up Jordan Finlayson, 30, was sentenced to two years and three months in jail for drug dealing in April last year.

The former Cronulla Sharks cheerleader, became involved in a heroin trafficking ring with her then boyfriend Martin Roser.

At the point of her arrest she admitted to blowing $5,000 a week on heroin, Xanax, marijuana, GBL, and whatever else she could get, and overdosed. 

Ten weeks after her release from prison, Ms Finlayson spoke candidly about how her drug use - fuelled by Sydney's party scene - robbed her of five years from her 20s.

'For two-and-a-half years before jail I did every drug; cocaine, GBL... my life was a blur, I let a lot of people down and made bad choices,' she told The Daily Telegraph.

'I was so destroyed, I overdosed and went to rehab six months before I was arrested, but I couldn't stop.'

The ex-Penthouse model has been waitressing in the city since her time at Silverwater, Mary Wade and Dillwynia correctional centres ended.

'Prison was scary, with some big, intimidating women and I was very sick coming off drugs in clinic,' Ms Finlayson said.
