"I didn't want to tar them with that tacky brush.

So I was like, You can't call it that. We changed the name of it. It's not fair on the audience. It's not fair on the family.” She went on to say that it “wasn’t fair” to James, 38, or their daughter, Bodhi, as they both share the surname Haskell. “James is mega traditional and he would have been, I mean, like his male ego would have been dented for life if we'd call that." The 36 year old explained that when she does change her name, she will “wear it like a badge of honour.” She said that though it will happen, she is in “no rush” to change her name but knows that she will have to do it at some point. "He wants to feel like I've taken on his name and I'm proud of it and I wear it like a badge of honour.

And there's an element of me that I really like being a maid lady like I wear. This is my badge of honour. So it feels it's quite bittersweet, you know, when I eventually go, I'm sure it will be lovely and we'll raise a glass of champagne. “There's also like an element of sadness to it because.
