I spoiled their story.

I spoiled their story.

Yeah, and immediately the death threats start.

It's sad, isn't it?

They all come from evangelical Christians, I'm afraid, without exception.

They were going to kill me on God's behalf because apparently God's incredibly busy and didn't have time to do it himself.

So we had to take the children to hiding.

We had to have police protection.

And at the same time, it looked as though my career was going to collapse, which I was fine.

Actually, to be honest, I was fine with because much better to have your children grow up proud of who they are than to have any kind of career in show business.

It really wasn't.

It wasn't a battle for me.

You know, it sounds like I was brave and give up my career, but actually was no choice for me.

My children have always come first.

Yeah, they're so wonderful.

They've grown up and they're so proud.

And I remember when my oldest daughter went to university and she got flu and both me and her other mum raced up to look after her.

And we were in her rooms and one of us was pumping up her pillows and one of us was making soup.

And one of her friends walked in and went, oh, my God, two mums, not fair.

Right.
