LISTEN: Rebecca Judd reveals the moment that almost tore her marriage apart

Speaking on her radio show The 3pm Pick Up,  Bec admitted that watching Stan’s new series Normal People made her reflect on things that happened in her own relationship in the past.

“I was watching it the other day with my husband and there’s this one bit in the show that brought back so many memories that I’d actually forgotten about,” she spilled.

“It reminded me when Juddy and I were first hooking up when we were, I think about 19. We had only been hooking up for a little bit.”

Bec added that she was left heartbroken when Chris opted to take someone else to a fancy event.

“He had this event to go to and I wasn’t really expecting to be invited to that event because we’d only just got together. But I wasn’t expecting him to invite his ex-girlfriend instead of me!” she said.

Chris later insisted he made the choice because the ex had already bought her dress for the event.

Bec added: “It totally set us back I reckon another five or six months. So him and I were on-and-off for 18 months because none of us could actually tell each other what we were really thinking, even though we were mad for each other.”

But while their relationship was wobbly at the start, the pair managed to get their act together and have since been going from strength to strength.
