She said: "We used to have a great sex life but then, rather than making love, we ended up arguing all the time about anything and everything," reports the Mirror.
She then introduced the public to the new love of her life - her cat, Mr Tibbs. Her feline friend moved in just days after Mohamed left her Somerset home, and has since described
