milestone. I think if you did it after two or
three years that would look silly.

Jacqueline recently opened up about
accepting her changing body now she’s
had two kids – do you compliment her on
how she looks?
We don’t wake up every day and tell each
other how amazing we think we are, we’re
just a normal couple. I think she looks good
the way she is. I love that she feels confident
in her body.

You spoke about feeling depressed
earlier this year when there was lots of
speculation about your relationship with
Jacqueline. How are you doing now?
I feel a lot better, it was a stressful time.
When you get targeted in the press it’s
going to get to you, but having kids

helped me through as they’re such a positive
influence in your life. When you have those
little faces smiling at you, you just can’t
be negative.

You’ve previously said that therapy wasn’t
for you...
No, I haven’t had therapy but I learned to
think of things in a different way. If someone
is targeting you or trolling you then you’ve
almost got to feel sorry for them. Karma is
a b***h!

Do you find exercise helps with your
mental health, too?
Massively, it helps me feel so much better if
I’m having a difficult day. My body has got
so used to exercise that when I don’t train
my body goes crazy. I train five days a week
and I also do football and tennis lessons.

such a positive influence’
