‘A couple of weeks ago she said she was not that concerned because she had faith in the bubble but I see today that she has got her kids writing letters to their father so I can see that anxiety has gone up in the last few weeks.’
It comes after David shared a heartbreaking message from his three young girls begging their dad to come home from India.
He uploaded a poignant drawing of his young family with a handwritten note from his eldest daughter, Ivy Mae, to Instagram.
