“We both respect each other and we didn’t want it to get nasty or messy.
“There is only so much you can do in a relationship and when it’s not working you’ve got to take separate routes.”
She continued: ‘But I wish him all the luck in the world, he’s not a nasty person. Everything happens for a reason. It wasn’t one of those break-ups like ones I’ve had in the past where it was really bitter and nasty, this was more a decision we made together.
“The way I dealt with things in the past with my exes was by screaming and that was not a good way to deal with it.”
