Ali, who formerly starred in shows like Doctors and The Bill, also opened up about the tragic miscarriage she had suffered the previous New Year’s Eve.
She said: “It took a while to process it emotionally. I had been so excited – I’d wrapped up the pregnancy test and put it in the Christmas tree for David.
“I think I was a bit naive about how fragile it all was.”
