And I know what you're thinking.
that it's impossible that Selina wouldn't have noticed.
A nanny living under her roof, heading towards full-term pregnancy.
I mean, here's a woman who's given birth to five children.
If anyone knows how to spot the signs of pregnancy, she does.
I asked Selina again.
Surely you noticed something.
Did she seem to be getting bigger?
Did you notice her getting bigger?
Because I knew nothing about it, I didn't sort of even analyse it.
No, you weren't looking for anything?
In the weeks afterwards, is there anything that you noticed that was her mood changing or her size changing?
A sense of anything about her?
And you know what?
I believe her.
I was there too, and I didn't notice.
While reporting this story, I learned something about my own mother, who's no longer around, a memory I'd never heard before, that my mum and Selina actually had a bit of a disagreement about it, with my mother insisting that it must have been Jennifer's baby, Selina adamant that it can't have been.
The fact is, back then, Selina had a sprawling family.
She was at capacity.
I can see how she might have missed things.
