He jumped 50ft to his death after taking a 'potentially fatal' amount of painkiller.
Trinny said: "I think going back to earlier, it's that would've, should've, could've - so do I regret that I didn't do more for my ex-husband to stop him killing himself?
"No, because it was nothing I could have done.
"To ponder on the regret of somebody who kills himself, it can take you into the darkest hole.
'But you can also know when somebody who is in that situation switches off, and that is their path and nobody can get in.
'I had to learn.'
Mum Trinny also told Fearne Cotton's Happy Place that she also had no regrets about taking drugs for a decade.
"I actually don't.
"Because it gave me such a depth of having to deal with life at an early age.
"Some testing things that it rounded me up more as a person.

'When I got into my 30s, I had a lot of experience to draw on to be resilient.
"So thereby I don't regret that it happened and I should draw upon it.'
