In March 2018, Elaine prompted concern for her welfare after she was seen drinking on a public street during an appearance in London.
The soap star, who was once a member of the fictional Slater family, was thought to have sought professional help in 2003 for her drinking woes.
She suffered a traumatic time in 2005 when her mother Bernadette took her own life after she jumped in front of a London tube.
The tragedy left Elaine grief stricken and nine months later her baby James was born five weeks premature and died days before his first birthday.

Speaking about her heartbreaking time, Elaine told the Mirror in 2008 that she was determined to rebuild her life and move on from her tragic past.
She said: ‘People say, “You are the unluckiest person in the world”, but I don’t think, “Woe is me”,’ she told the publication. ‘I don’t want people to feel sorry for me and I don’t want them to feel they have to come up to me.
‘There are people far worse off than me. Look at the poor McCanns. At least I have got closure and I can move on. They can’t. I have learned so much from everything that has happened. Life does have to go on.’
