Speaking about Rob’s diagnosis back in December 2019, Lindsey said: “There was such a huge array of emotions, my first thought was how I am going to break it to the children

“The first thing Rob said to me was thank goodness it’s me and not you and the children. That was Rob’s take on it, he was more bothered about myself and his family and that was his biggest worry.”
