Explained Rory: “I thought at the time that being with someone that was in a similar position to you was the obvious answer.
“But it isn’t, because you can never get away from it. You can never detach yourself and try to come back to the real world.
“And that’s why I feel in such a good place now. I don’t feel Erica wants to change me in any way.
“I can be myself around her; there’s no bulls**t, no acting, no show.”
