Kate Ferdinand has made the frank admission that she felt like Rio Ferdinand's "side chick" before the pair tied the knot.
The former TOWIE star, 31, and former England footballer, 42, first started dating in 2017 two years after his late wife Rebecca Ellison died of breast cancer at the age of 35.
And she has admitted the tough start she had in the relationship before revealing she now feels "secure" with their family life.
