“It won’t be measured.”

He added: “Hopefully comes across as a loving parent. His kids mean everything to him but you need to share this.

“Obviously he’s got Rhona who is brilliant but it’s everybody around him, the community around him.

“He’s ill equipped to cope, I think most parents probably are, because it’s almost like a guessing game really.

“Let’s try this and see if it pays off – oh, it’s not paid off, what shall I do next? The important thing is to give the kids a safe space where they feel they can express themselves to you.

“In April’s case there’s a lot of scenes where she says ‘Please don’t tell school’, all that sort of stuff.

“It’s really difficult for parents, as awful as it is for the kids, it’s a really tricky tightrope to walk.”
