Video transcript
FEARNE MCCANN: It definitely wasn't my finest hour and it definitely was a very difficult time in my life when those voice notes were leaked. But I do-- I need to take this opportunity to publicly apologize again to those affected. Obviously, the words that I used were unpleasant. And I have reached out privately to those people. It's very difficult because I would love to sit here with you guys and with my followers and share exactly what went on, but it's now part of a criminal investigation. So I can't do that.
But what I can say is these voice notes were from a time when I was in a very vulnerable situation and it was a very, very difficult situation for me, 5 to 6 years ago. And I since then have done a lot of work on myself. I've been in therapy for six years and I feel that I am a different person. And even though I can't share my full truth and I know how frustrating that is for people listening.
I know that one day I will get that chance to fully be able to hopefully sit with you guys on the sofa and be 100% transparent. And I know that my story will be able to help a lot of women. But until then, I can't say too much.
