She told the publication: 'Deciding to leave was an incredibly difficult decision for me because Maxine is a huge, huge part of my life – and a part of my life that I've loved.
'It's difficult to think, "It's time", and it wasn't an instant or overnight decision, it took me a long time to make it and it was something I genuinely fought with myself about, but I'm lucky that I could talk to people around me and get people's opinions.
'I'm grateful that I've had the stability for so long, now I've just got to embrace the instability of not knowing what's next.'
