  1. “He came because I was like three of them are together. They've grown up with each other, they know each other. Like, I feel really. I don't know why. I just felt really vulnerable about the whole thing. So yeah, we went for dinner. It was like... Marv said it was really weird for him to witness because he was like, I just felt like. Was the gnome. And it was weird, like, I was like my brother going, You look like my eldest daughter. Like, you know, just jeans are really mad. And like she's super tall. So I'm like, she must get her height from you. It was just a really weird thing. Marvin was just sat in the car in my hammy, was like, I was just staring at them all because you are all so similar. And it's that weird like nature and nurture thing, isn't it? Like we are just so similar mannerisms, everything. And then from that day.”

  2. “And he said, Look, can I just message her now? And it all just happened so quickly. He whatsapped her and was like, and with your sister at a Christmas party, can I give her your number? She was like, please. The next thing I had her number saved in my phone, the next day I sent her a message. We had arranged to meet later on that week. With all of them, so the two sisters, the brother, So I was like, okay, this is great. Can I tell my mum? And then it got to Thursday night and I promise you I had the worst time I make. I was so nervous. I was like, Marv, I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if I can go. Like, this is so, I made him come with me.”

  3. “He randomly came up to me. I've never met him before, prior to this, never met him. I was like, Oh, nice to meet you. And he was asking me about the management and was like, do you enjoy it? And I'm like, yeah, they're going to be great for you. Good luck with everything. And then I could feel that he wanted to approach me and say something. And the night's gone on and, you know, maybe a couple cocktails later, he comes up to me and he's like, look, okay, so this is really weird. But I went to school with your sister. I was like, right, okay, really? Oh, she never said thinking the sister that I grew up with. And he's like, no. So on your dad's side. And he said, I always said to her because she was a really good friend, if ever I bump into your sister, I'm going to give her your number. And I lit, can I just tell you, I was twisted. I sobered up within a second. I was like, sorry, what?”

  4. “Yeah. So, yeah, I suppose technically they're halfs. Yeah, we share the same father, but not the same mother. Two sisters and a brother. So you're right. I knew I had the brother, I didn't know that he had daughters. But obviously. They were young, so they came with him and we just weren't going to see eye to eye. He just wasn't. Consistent, and that was just the, you know, a continuous pattern. So then it sort of the contact dwindled again to near on nothing, well, nothing. Then fast forward to about 11, 12 years later. I was at a Christmas due at my then agents and they had just taken on one of the guys from Love Island, Kemp. He was a lovely, lovely guy I have a slay, you know, Prosecco's hip. Mum's got a night off, having a lovely evening.”

  5. “And I think you have literally You are stopping your future and the rest of your life because you're holding on to something that First of all, no one even knows what it is when it's been that long. Like, what is this all about? And you're the person that remains unhappy because you're. Going through life with a side of your brain that's focused on the fact that, well, no, because they've done me wrong. Yeah, they did.”

  6. “Yeah, I think I do. I don't, I'm like that as a person. I don't hold on. And I think if there was something in life that I would hold on to, it'd be something like this, right? Because I would have the right to. But I don't. And I think had you have asked me at 18? I would have been like, I will never forget that man for not being around for me. But I just know what it is. I know what I'm going to get if I had contact with him and I accept it. Like you say, acceptance. Actually, can be a beautiful thing, and it can be a liberating thing to think. Holding on to something that I can't change. It's done. It's in the past, it is what it is.”

  7. “Like, I'm not gonna. Me having a conversation and him saying to me, oh, it didn't work out with your mum and I. And I don't know what he would say. This is me thinking of an answer. Me having that conversation, I'm actually not going to get anything out of it. That's genuinely how I feel. There's not anything he would be able to say to me that could change the fact that he didn't come to watch my nativity play or he didn't do put in that ground. So really... I don't need a dad at my aid now because I have my own family set up and I'm secure. So I'm not seeking that because it's something I've never had.”

  8. “I know. And can I just tell you with everything else in my life, I am, I mean, ask anybody that knows me, the most direct person, but there's just this. Like, I can't even articulate it enough. Like, there's this weird. It's been my life, right? And I've got to this point, and I still don't know the answer, but I know the person that I want the answers from isn't the person that's going to give me the honest answer. So, I just don't waste my own time because time is something that we don't have enough of. So I'm at that place. So it's not that I'm like. Not scared to know the truth. I'm not like, I'm just not in desperate need for it because I know that it's not going to be. Real picture of what happened, and I'm too old and I'm too wise to believe bullshit. So I think that's where I am with it.”

  9. “I Didn't find out anything. My mum would always tell me this story that sort of went like, bless her. And this is now I'm a parent. I'm like, she was so thinking on the spot, but it's something that stuck with me. She said some daddies aren't very good at looking after little girls because they would look after little boys. It's easier for them to look after little boys. And she must have literally been doing the washing. And I've said, why doesn't, you know. And because at that time I knew that he had a son. Fast forward to have many years later. I realized that he also had two daughters That sort of mum was like, but at that point I was old enough to like realize that, you know, it just, he had a new setup and I just didn't slot into that.”

  10. “So, I think the respect was here. But it was in the basement when I had my own, you know, because my outlook was then like, okay, now I really don't understand the way that you don't want to be a part of your child's life, you know? For some people that changes, they have their own kids and then they're like, I'd like them to know their grandparents or I'd like them. And I thought my biggest thing in life is to protect these little ones. I know how flaky you were for me. There's no way that I'd have them sat by the window saying, is granddad coming to get me? Because I can protect. I've got control over that. I'm not against it. I'd be open. It's not something that I would seek now.”

  11. “Yeah, I think my mum did very well at not sort of discrediting my dad over the years. So she would kind of make a lot of excuse. Well, now I'm an adult and I'm a parent, right? I know that she was obviously covering his ass constantly and making a lot of excuses and dressing it up in a way that I suppose that at the time I could handle as a kid, but you're always going to have that level of curiosity in life. When I had my own children. Weirdly became less curious Which is weird, right? Because I had my own kids and I suppose I've always thought, oh, yeah, he's my dad. He's not been around. I don't really know him, but I sort of held hope. But then I had my own children and I saw what being a dad was from my husband. I knew what being, even not being a dad was being a parent and besotted and in love and lived my life for my kids”

  12. “It was just me and mum because that's sort of how my childhood looked. My mum and my dad split officially when I was a tiny, probably my son's age, probably maybe one just short of one. And then... That was sort of it, really. So that's sort of, I had contact with my dad for little bursts of time, but it was never anything solid. And then the contact stopped altogether. So yeah, that I suppose I actually, it's funny that you point that out because I didn't realize how much I say that, but just me and mum is probably something that... I have said a lot. You're right”

  13. “It's been my life, and I accept it, like you say, acceptance actually can be a beautiful thing and it can be a liberating thing to think I'm not. Holding on to something that I can't change. So, first of all, the conversation was well done. I didn't know about this. Then overnight the dial turned. That definitely was like... Know what actually I was scared taking my kid to nursery that day because I got death threat”

  14. “I just got to a point where I thought it's time to empower myself. And do you know what? Some of this is your fault because you said something you'd met someone. Well, you spoke to, I can't remember.”
