The singer explained that she moved into her mother Andrea's house in Leeds after spending a considerable amount of money on legal fees and payments to Stephen.

“I wasn’t just emotionally and physically abused, there was all the financial abuse as well,” said the 48-year-old artist.

“I didn’t realize I didn’t have as much money as I thought I did. So I literally had to eat humble pie and live with my mom.”

She continued: “My mom was the kind of person who would say, 'Oh, you left him now, you're fine.' But that couldn’t be further from the truth,” she recalls, making it clear that she didn’t have anyone else’s support at the time.
