“Kate actually reached out when she heard about my diabetes diagnosis saying she was really sorry to hear this and again, this is how something good has come from it… is Kate. She was being kind, which I appreciated and then it went from there…
“Of course, she is obviously a very, very attractive lady and I do fancy her, she’s my girlfriend now… but I have always thought she was fit.”
