She continued: “Fiz wants Hope to be okay, so she is happy that Hope responds to Jade, but she is gutted that Hope listens to Jade and not to her.

She added: “Fiz just wants everything to be nice. She just wants to be an ordinary mum with nothing horrible happening.
“She just wants two kids that go to school, argue a bit, she shouts at them but it’s all normal and just nice.
“She just wants everything to be okay, but I am not sure it’s going to be…”
