"It was breakfast, lunch and dinner, you know, forever – and I was just fed up that they weren't coming down when I'd asked them. ‌ "Then finally, when they walked into the kitchen, I'd had enough. I literally picked up the plates and burst into tears, and threw them across the kitchen. "The dinner ended up on the walls, I ended up on the floor in a crumpled mess." Speaking about how her husband supported her during this difficult time, she said: "Rod went, 'Boys quick, leave mummy, give her a minute', and he came over to me and he said, 'I'm sorry, darling, are you okay?"
