Adding: "I can’t lie; I can’t keep making up stories.

"It gets to a stage, after a year and a half, when keeping a secret becomes more of a burden than anything else."

She shared that she doesn't want to be viewed as a "frail little thing" adding: "I’m a journalist; I don’t want to be “the story”. I don’t want to be interviewing someone and for them to say to me, “I’m so sorry”.
