“Fifty one and look at me – it’s not natural, is it? I know you get the odd freak show in the tabloids but it’s not safe. It’s not right.

“And I should have known better. My Freddie had done a runner, the marriage was in tatters, it was a hook up, a booty call. It’s wrong, I tell you. 

“And it leads to this. It was a punishment. That’s not fair. They told me about the risks of birth defects – everybody wanted me to get rid of it. 

“And when he came, Christopher, it was clear I couldn’t look after him. I had no money, no support, it wouldn’t have been fair on the poor little blighter. 

“I gave him up and never saw him again.”

“I’m not used to talking about all this,” she told Patrick.
