Natasha Hamilton 'Failed As A Wife'

Natasha Hamilton has opened up about her split from husband Riad Erraji.

In an interview with Closer magazine's New You supplement, the Atomic Kitten singer added that it was "horrible" to see her partner photographed with another woman – Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattinson – shortly after their separation.

She admitted: "There are times when I'm an emotional wreck, but I feel like I'm getting stronger and moving on.

"I thought Riad and I were solid and would be able to work through any problems – but then there wasn't a major problem.

"We just drifted apart. But while I might have failed as a wife, I'll never fail as a mother.

"When the boys (Josh, 11, Harry, 8, and Alfie, 3) are with me, I have to do everything so, by bedtime, I'm exhausted.

"But when they're with Riad, I feel alone. My instinct is to invite a friend over, but I tell myself, 'You're going to have to get used to this'.

"We're not enemies. I know there's a bumpy ride ahead. There's loads to sort out now we've split, but I hope we can both be mature for the sake of the kids."

She added: "It was very surreal and gut-wrenching to see Riad with someone else. I knew it was inevitable, but that doesn't stop it from hurting.

"He was the love of my life. A friend told me about the pictures - I'd never heard of Vicky before.

"It was horrible to see them, but at least it's done now. I feel it's another part of the break-up I've been able to deal with and I suppose it means I can move on that bit more."

The couple have a three-year-old son, Alfie, together, while Hamilton is also a mum to Josh, 10, and Harry, 8, from a previous relationship. Hamilton and Erraji married in November 2007 but confirmed they had split in July following months of problems in their relationship.
