I genuinely don’t think I could do half of the things that I do without the people around me.”
Hanna first appeared on our television screens six years ago, a year before she and Martin tied the knot at Liverpool Cathedral.
Since then, viewers have seen her endure her fair share of fallouts and feuds, as well as her marriage to Martin and the arrival of their two little ones.
