“No, because it was nothing I could have done.

“But you can also know when somebody who is in that situation switches off, and that is their path and nobody can get in.

Mum Trinny also told Happy Place that she also had no regrets about taking for a decade.

“I actually don’t.

“Because it gave me such a depth of having to deal with life at an early age.

“Some testing things that it rounded me up more as a person.

“When I got into my 30s, I had a lot of experience to draw on to be resilient.

“So thereby I don’t regret that it happened and I should draw upon it.”;
