Reflecting on her traumatic past Jennifer told The Mirror: ‘It was a volatile relationship and he was connected with this other world, this gangland world.
‘For years and years I thought that life was normal and bad things like that happened to everyone because it happened in the world I was in. I was having nails in my letter box, going into hiding and fearing for your life walking down the street. That’s not normal.
‘I look back and think how it was so traumatic. It was so horrific what I was going through. I was such a young girl, I was a baby.
‘I feel like opening up in the mirror room about that has put that part of my life to bed. It was like the best therapy session ever.’
She described the experience as ‘crazy’ and it ‘takes over your whole body.’
She admitted she was left ‘in awe’ as she battled through the emotions and changed for the better while crediting the show for building her back up again.
The relationship ended when Jennifer discovered Tony was cheating on her with John Terry’s ex-girlfriend Shalimar Wimble, which she describes as her ‘get out of jail free card’.
Jennifer believes she has been left with PTSD after the traumatic seven years she spent with Tony, but is grateful for her life now.
