It is believed that the singer-turned-presenter will be enjoying the summer with her three sons - Bobby, eight, Cole, six, and Nate, two. She is married to long-term partner Justin Scott, who is a former member of the British boy band Triple 8. The couple tied the knot in January 2016.
The news comes after her co-host Gethin Jones admitted he had a “scary” stalker when he worked on Blue Peter. The 45-year-old TV presenter, who now hosts the Morning Live show, said the BBC were so worried they even hired security to protect him.
Opening up on the Rig Biz podcast, Gethin shared he found the experience “terrifying”. Asked if he’d ever had a stalker, he said: “I did, back in Blue Peter. It was weird to the point where I had some security, which I thought was a lot. But they felt... obviously they knew stuff I didn’t. You know, you go and do your job every day thinking that’s it, and then for whatever reason.
“I think it’s interesting on telly, the medium of TV is really powerful, and people think they know you really well and there’s occasions where you maybe don’t get back to someone because you just don’t, because you don’t know them and they find that offensive. And there are people who have got all sorts of issues as well, so you’ve got to be really careful.”
