She told The Telegraph: ‘The thought of sharing my life with someone again makes me feel positively sick.’
She also took to Twitter to laugh about her declaration, tweeting: ‘Oh.. I make myself laugh sometimes…. Headline in today’s @TheTelegraph….”the thought of living with someone again makes me feel positively sick”…
