“It's very mixed emotions for her, it's difficult because she's spoken quite openly about her regret, she's blamed Strictly quite a lot but, unfortunately, you can't turn the clock back. He wanted his sons to walk in with him, but it was a very small affair. She only knew because the boys were there.”
