‘Rafferty did his very first audition at school and sang and played piano at George Ezra’s Shotgun – he loves him! We all do. Rafferty said it went well… But he wasn’t singing! Hey?! He just played the piano!’
“BUT, he’ll get another chance on Thursday – But to be honest, I was just so proud of him for being there and going for it!” I hope you’re well? How was your Tuesday? Sending you all lots of love.”

Martine explained The mirror: ‘When filming, you have to be available 24/7 and those are normally days of 17 hours. So that’s why I took a step back from movies and TV dramas.”
“We only have one child and I don’t want to miss anything. I’m not going to get another one to experience those moments with. When jobs come in for myself and Jack, we say, “Family first for us.”
“Rafferty is so precious… we are so lucky to have him. And what’s the point if we’ll never be there to pick up or drop off school?
“We have to say, ‘OK, take that job and leave the other three.'” It’s hard. You want to be able to do them all, but you just can’t.’
