She was once in huge noughties girl band Atomic Kitten, but now is battling a huge £250K tax bill as she opened up about her debt.
The former singer, 43, found fame as a 16-year-old pop star and had credit cards 'thrown' at her during her teenage years which left her paying them off into her 30s.
Now, Natasha has admitted she faced the 'tightest' 12-months of her life last year after previously having a 'mental breakdown' over her finances.
Speaking to The Times, she said: 'In my late teens and early twenties credit cards were thrown at me. I then had to spend my late twenties and early thirties paying off a lot of debt, so I've learnt to be less frivolous the hard way. I owed about £20,000 at one point.'
Natasha revealed she has 'invested everything' into her record label, Morpho Records last year, and as a result it's been a slow financial year.
She explained how she would wake up 'every day crying,' to which her two-year-old would ask: 'Why are you sad, Mummy?'

The TV star now lives in Chester with her husband, Charles Gay, their daughter, Kitty, two, and her children from previous relationships, Josh, 23, Harry, 21, Alfie, 15, and Ella, 11.
Natasha continued: 'I first really learnt about money when I left Atomic Kitten and was hit with a tax bill of over £250,000.'
Natasha acknowledged that she wasn't 'mentally and physically able' to do the job that she had 'loved.'
But she acknowledged that being dumped with a huge tax bill after her Atomic Kitten fame was 'incredibly hard.'
'To pay that tax bill I went back to work too quickly and it had a huge impact on my mental health. I had a mental breakdown,' she said.
Things continued to go downhill for Natasha, when in 2007, she 'lost a hell of a lot of money in property' following the crash.
Natasha and her husband are now stuck renting a property in Chester after they ended up homeless for seven months which saw them living in hotels and Airbnbs.
The singer added: 'We sold our last house and ended up with no house because the mortgage on the new property hadn't quite gone through. We ended up homeless for seven months.'
Natasha was also forced to 'work really hard' after she divorced first husband Riad Erraji, in 2013 because she was left with 'nothing'.
She now revealed that she keeps her 'finances on track' and pays back her credit card at the end of each month.

A group of young feisty girls from the North West, no one expected for their music to take off and propel them to the dizzying heights of superstardom.
And after reuniting again last summer to film the new documentary Girlbands Forever, Natasha admitted they all loved spending time together again and a reunion isn't off the cards.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, Natasha reflected on her time in the hit band, despite the hardships they faced.
'I think as the years go by and you get further and further away from it, your mind's recollection is like, "Wow, it is almost like, did it really happen?"
'But I know it very much did, and I've got wonderful memories, you know we went through some hardship but I feel like the good times definitely outweighed it.'
