WE’RE NORMALLY GLUED TOGETHER

-

Both Mary and Claudia say they were delighted to return to filming – ‘thrilled to bits’ as Mary puts it. ‘I was sad at the beginning because Mary and I are normally rather glued to each other, so it was quite strange to be separated,’ Claudia says, adding that she and Mary are now ‘proper friends’ after hitting it off from the moment they met for the first series.

The feeling was mutual. ‘I missed Claudia a lot because we used to have a little chat about things when nobody else could hear us,’ Mary confides. ‘But it’s been quite nice having space and peace on the balcony, while at the same time we can keep an eye on what’s going on.’

‘It’s made the contestant­s more scared,’ says Claudia. ‘They’ve realised they can’t take shortcuts because Mary’s there from the first moment until the last.’
