“I’ve only met David twice: once at the Military Awards in 2010 and on a night out in the West End in Feb 2012. We were out in a group of friends & it was just a normal fun evening out. Just so we are clear I have never been on my own with him and never arranged to meet up,” she wrote.

“No one said marriage was going to be easy. Yes, there have been bumps along the road.“But the fact is we’ve come out of everything we’ve been through stronger and happier,” she added.
