Wearing a grey turtleneck jumper, Rochelle opened up about the heartache of change in the Humes family household.

‘I’m so proud of how brave she is and so ready for a new adventure, so odd for me to not being able to go in and make sure she’s okay but I guess that’s the new “normal” for you.

‘I held it together and as soon as the door shut I lost it. Being a parent is never easy…please tell me it’s not just me? She’s totally fine by the way and SO excited. I think I got more upset because Marv is away too’
