“She assumed another identity. Lydia Hart was another person, and she assumed that identity and lived as Lydia.”

Karen went on to reveal Lydia tells Sam everything.

She said: “She speaks to Sam and tells him: ‘I didn’t mean to lie to you and I didn’t want to lie to you, but somewhere along the line it stopped feeling like a lie’.

“I think that was very much Lydia’s experience.”
