Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Woman's Hour, she said, “I never wanted to split up with him. I never did. It's just unfortunate that he thought I was having an affair with my riding instructor and that's why we split.
“He always says, ‘Oh, I can never say why', because he knows he's married with his family and he knows if he does say it, we'll all jump on the bandwagon and say, 'Well prove it'. What do you think, it's all nonsense.
“Anyone who loves horses they know when it's your passion you can't get away from it. And when you've got dressage horses like mine, they're like athletes.”
She continued, “They need to be trained properly, they have to have a certain diet, they have physio you can't just have anyone ride the horses, they're specialised in what they do.
“But because I'd come home happy and be like, 'I'm going to go riding, and I'm happy', he thinks I'm happy because I'm with him and it wasn't the case at all. I'm happy because I'm riding, doing my passion. So, it's sad really.”
Speaking about her next marriage with Alex Reid, she admitted, “The public was right about Alex, I was on the rebound. Yes, I know I was on the rebound and I'm not rushing into getting married again. Yes, I'm engaged, but I've actually grown-up and thought there's no rush for anything.”
