Adrian said in his video: ‘After the show, Becky called me up. She was crying and that. She said what happened between her and Pete.
‘Me and Becky, we kept in contact. Then we decided what the heck, let’s meet up, let’s see what happens. I went in with an open mind. What did I have to lose, nothing.
