She then recalled how she didn’t want to tie the knot with Smith, and only did so because she was pregnant.

The 50-year-old explained: “It was almost as if Gammy [her mum] was like: ‘You have to get married, so let’s talk about the wedding’.

“I was under so much pressure, you know, being a young actress, being young, and I was just like pregnant and I just, I was just like, I didn’t know what to do, but I just knew, I was like, I never wanted to be married.”
