Jade before her reconciliation with Jack: "There were just too many reasons to make a clean break. I’m 26 and Jack is only 20, so there’s a big age gap. Some days, I felt more like his mum than his lover. He’d become very needy and suddenly, I knew there was no going back. I just don’t need him in my life ... I’ll never date a toy boy again ..."
