And what his response to her was at the time was, I might be bisexual.

And then shortly after that is when Tommy goes for treatment in St.

Patrick's and attempts to take his own life.

And while he's in St.

Patrick's, that, of course, leaked phone conversation takes place between Tina and Tommy.

So that's really the point where the relationship really breaks down.

And

Even though we only learned about it in that statement a couple of weeks ago, confirming that they had split up and that Tina was no longer involved in Tommy's professional life either.

That is the one kind of big blow up, I suppose.

So she said that the decision was taken to record that phone conversation because her and her family were just fed up with the situation.

They felt they were fed up with being ignored and all of the lies that they said Tommy was telling them.

And Tina also felt that nobody would believe her if she told the story without having done this.

And she does say the conversation in her eyes never should have been leaked and never should have seen the light of day.

But she did stress as well, she never wanted it to be shared publicly and she didn't want Tommy's sexuality to become public knowledge without his consent.

Yeah, so Becky's take on the situation was very much that...

Tommy being able to move on, he will have his music and his career and he will be able to get back to all of that.

And her feeling is that the family herself, her mother and the rest of the family have been left to pick up the pieces of this entire situation and of the breakup of the marriage.

She mentioned that

shortly before Tina and Tommy broke up, just the prior month, last August, that she herself had gotten married, that she felt she should be enjoying a new phase of her own life and instead she's left to help her mother and her family get out of this situation.

Okay, Darren Nolan, thank you very much.
