The ex-EastEnders star and Julia, and their eldest sister Dina grew up in Croydon, South London. But Nadia was forced to live apart from her family.
She said: “When my mum had Julia, I was so excited I kept wanting to pick her up and cuddle her. My mum, who was a bit postnatal, got scared and sent me to her mother’s.
“Julia was a beautiful baby and everyone was crazy about her, so my sister Dina and I were a bit jealous. And as she grew up she was very much ‘Daddy’s little girl’.”
“When I went into EastEnders everyone called me Julia. It made me feel insecure.” Speaking about their row, she added: “We’ve had some rocky times, but the culprit has always been men.”
In 2019, Julia accused Nadia of “destroying” her family and spreading “lies and rubbish”. She fumed: “So tired of #nadiasawalha talking about our ‘stormy’ relationship which she created. I’ve kept my privacy for 6 years to protect my family, whilst she talks lies & rubbish.
“You have destroyed our family so don’t sit on TV with your fake tears to gain sympathy & attention.”- Julia continued: “Yes well it’s very difficult when you only see the story from one side. I’m not actually fighting, she is, but paints a very different picture publicly and I’ve had enough.”
