“The girls [Luna and Isla] were four and two when I came into their lives and now they are young women all of a sudden, talking about going to university," she explained. "We are in such a different place now. For me it was all about being their friend and being there when they needed you to be there. That was it." Christine has also described her blended family as 'lovely', adding, "I don’t remember life before it now."
