I like to think that my relationship with Tony has been like the love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton - except they only married each other twice and she got a diamond necklace. The family has been through a lot over the past 30 years but somehow we have ended up together. I believe that's because despite the divorces and tragedy, Tony and I never really let each other go.
I was born in 1955, near the seaside village of Pendine, Carmarthenshire. Dad worked in forestry and mum was a housewife. I went to the local school and we knew everybody in the community. I had a fairly quiet childhood, although I once came third in the Miss Pears children's beauty competition.
I was a teenage bride before I met Tony.
