Friend Natasha Haskins, 50, says: ‘I recently turned 50 in lockdown and I felt cheated. I was really looking forward to making plans with my friends and family, and I had even discussed going to Las Vegas, so to have that taken away from me was really hard. That said, I completely understand Siobhan’s decision to have a more quiet birthday – not everyone likes being the centre of attention.’
