Recalling the time she discovered her own husband's infidelity, she said: "I didn't believe my friend at the time when she told me.
"He would always disappear and stuff like that... I said, 'No, he's not. He wouldn't do that to me.' But yes, he was, but once I had that little thing in my head, I became super detective. I was going to find out."
Wood said she was "was just on the look out for everything", adding: "Once I had that little spark of, 'I wonder what's going on.' I wanted to find out, and so I would check his phone."

"We went on holiday to Kenya," she continued. "[Ronnie] was coming a few days later and so I went with the kids... I rang him and I couldn't find him when I was in Kenya, he didn't answer the phone.
"So my son said to me, 'Mum, do yourself a favor. Break his SIM card in his phone.' I said, 'Why?', he said, 'Just do it'.
"So [after Ronnie arrived] he'd been up for three days and I crept in, found his phone, opened it and snapped it."
