Sophie Sandiford said: “If I was in that situation and it was my husband had gone up and done that, I’d be fuming at the husband because if I have a problem with something, I’ll sort it myself.

“I don’t need somebody to speak upon my behalf.”

Pete added: “I’d have been like ‘can we just go to a break, we’ll just go into the car park for a quick chat.”
