The seriousness of it starts to cause a kind of fracture between Imran and Toyah.
“Imran stands by the fact that they’ve made a promise to this girl that they would be there, they would care, they would support regardless.”
Toyah struggles to support Kelly?
He continued: “Toyah’s stance on it is a bit more protecting like, ‘we may have signed up for those things, but we didn’t sign up for this. To be supportive of a child is one thing, but to be supportive of a violent person goes beyond the call of duty we’ve signed up to.’

“Imran’s a little more unblinking. And despite his own reservations, it’s a case of well, this is what he agreed to do, this is what he has to do.”
He added: “He’s a bit more rigid, and Toyah’s a little more reticent about the whole thing, and that causes a little bit of a fracture between them.”
