 "She writes about all her relationships, doesn't she?

'"I don't think it will come as a shock to him at all. He's very happy in his new relationship so I'm sure he will be focusing on that.

"As my nephew, we know a bit more about what went on than has been in the press."

Additionally, Debbie claimed that Matty Healy is very happy in his new relationship.
