Kate Moss and Anna Friel in 1999Kate Moss and Anna Friel in 1999Anna Friel has revealed why she is no longer a close pal of Kate Moss or Sadie Frost.

The former Brookie actress - once dubbed a party girl - has admitted that she deliberately distanced herself from the Primrose Hill posse after a stint abroad.

"When I moved to New York for a year my priorities and responsibilities changed.

"There were no arguments, I just lost touch with a lot of people in London.

"When I came back from New York, things were different and the tabloids were full of stories about drinks, drugs and partying," she told Red magazine.

"I just thought, 'I don't know if I want to do that any more'. I started to focus on my career.

Kate Moss has just come out of rehab after photos of her allegedly snorting cocaine were published.

Anna - who had romances with Darren Day then Robbie Williams around the same time as her party days with Kate - now lives a quieter life in Windsor, Berkshire, with partner David Thewlis and their baby girl.
