"She was in Marbella with her dad and although we always knew that would be the case, it was hard to be away from her. But let's face it, I'm hardly gonna head to Spain with her and Brian, am I?

"She was happy though, because she got a car - a gorgeous Toyota Yaris - from Brian. She was dead chuffed with it and I can't blame her.

"I took her to Greece a few weeks ago as my gift, so she did very well out of her mum and dad."
