"I don't have it anymore, but I had the Raya dating app. And I remember I’d been split up with Scott for about nine months, and I was sat on the Eurostar, with my little girl and my nanny. "And me and my nanny were laughing because we made my profile, and we were trying to find a profile picture, and the one I liked of myself, I was actually pregnant.
So we were like, ‘That's really f****g weird .' "I zoomed in on my picture so you couldn't tell that I was pregnant. My little girl got involved because she thought it was hilarious that I had this app.
She was like, ‘Oh, my God, mommy's got a boy's app’. If you’ve been in long term relationship, and suddenly [you’re single] the apps are entertaining. I loved mine for a bit because I just found it so funny.
