Deidre told ‘April’: “This is a relationship going at speed because you’ve been together a year.
“But when you, in quote, cheated it was really, really early days so you hadn’t got the commitment together then.
“As much as anything, this is actually about your partner feeling insecure rather than that you did anything terrible.
“You hadn’t committed to him at that point, he probably hadn’t committed to you so he’s just feeling threatened by you having been with somebody else.
“I would say to him you’re now going to have a baby together and it’s really important that he gets over this.
“But he’s got to understand it’s about him working on himself because he needs to come to terms with that insecurity.”
She added: “You’re having a baby together, you do not want this hanging over and clouding all the early days of having a baby together.”
Viewers on Twitter weren’t impressed with Deidre’s advice, however.
