Anthea and Wendy Turner will 'never' discuss estrangement
Anthea and Wendy Turner didn't speak for four years but have no interest in delving into what happened between them.
Anthea and Wendy Turner will "never" discuss their four-year estrangement.
The 64-year-old presenter and her younger sibling didn't speak for four years but can't see "the point" in revisiting their issues and would rather just keep moving forward with their lives.
Anthea told The Times newspaper: "Mum getting ill was the catalyst for Wendy and me talking again. But we haven’t discussed what happened and we never will. In the same way, I wouldn’t sit down with Grant and pick fluff out of my belly button.
"What’s the point? What’s done is done. Delving into the back pages of our lives to re-traumatise ourselves is not the Turner way. I earn my living by not falling apart."
And Wendy insisted their decision not to speak about the past isn't out of a desire to hide their problems away.
She said: "Anthea and I have no interest in talking about the years we didn’t speak, and this isn’t shovelling stuff under the carpet. My drive has to be moving forward and I know that’s her philosophy too.
"Through absolute grit and determination she has proved herself to be unsinkable. She has a lovely new man and, to me, she has changed completely since she has been with him. I see a person I haven’t met before.
"She was always a coiled spring, a little bit fiery and never fully relaxed. The change in her has been phenomenal. She’s happier in her own skin, more chilled and fun."
