I've been through so much and I feel so bad but we joke about it all now and we're really, really close. I think because I've spent more time with my mum than I think anyone has spent with their mum. We're so close. She's been through so much with it all, and the fact that she is still my biggest cheerleader, wants the best for me, and would never leave my side is incredible. I'm very lucky and I'm very well. Most people don't have that experience with their mum.
