Kate replied, “Don’t you think it’s just a ‘you thing’ now?” It’s not an ‘us thing’.β
βI’ve been around all my teammates for years, and no one has said, ‘Oh my God, Rio is the wildest eater,’β he added.
Kate exclaimed, βIt’s like a wash. machine! We’re not making it all up, I think you just have to evaluate how you eat.β
“Maybe it’s because your food is so delicious that I can’t control myself!” he joked.

In addition to current stars, the agency also represents the interests of Ferdinand, Mick McCarthy, Harry Redknapp and Robbie Savage.
Kate revealed last year that Lorenz had left the nest and was living with another family after signing for the Seagulls.

Kate said on her Blended podcast: ‘I was devastated when he moved out. It’s really something big, I was emotional. I miss him so much. We still see him twice a week, but it takes some getting used to.’
