"He's already a hyper person but it seemed like he wanted the added illusion of what poppers do," she told Radar. "I didn't think he needed them or saw the effect of them. They smelled disgusting – you inhale them. It smelled like nail polish remover to be honest. I just pretended to do them. He would travel with them sometimes and when he came to LA he would have them with him and he put in he fridge to keep them cool."

"When I met him in 2001 he was quite a soft, sensitive and caring person but toward the end, I think the fame and having so much on his plate made him hyper – I guess I was a bit of collateral damage but I saw the change in his attitude towards people," she said.

Symonds eventually told the story of their affair to News of the World — a newspaper in the UK that closed down in 2011. "I was starting to feel cheap and that if I couldn't or wouldn't provide him with all of this stuff, then he was no longer interested in me," she told Radar.

Symonds said the writing was on the wall when she caught the TV star in a lie. "When I was living in London we had this romantic night planned but he rang up and said he couldn't do that because his daughter, Tilly, was taken ill. And so a friend of mine saw him out in Nobu later that night and I thought, 'Gosh, he would just dismiss me. I thought we had plans!"' she claimed. "So we had no respect for each other at the end."
