It was a one-off. We never talked about it afterwards. We laugh about it now," Jayne previously shared with Radio Times. Christopher also reflected on the moment: "We were 14-years-old, and teenagers in the most naive sense. We didn't talk about it much after."

This devastating revelation led Jayne down a tough road of surgery and IVF: "That's when it hit me. So I went through the surgery and then it was obvious it was going to be more difficult. So we tried IVF for about a year. That, as a lot of women know, is traumatic in itself."
