"Most women would want to kill their husband but she never held it against me. That’s who Sandra is," Harry explained.

Sandra added that she was "more worried" about how Harry would be feeling following the accident than her own injuries. "When Harry knocked me down by accident in his car, I was more worried about him feeling guilty than anything else.
"My granddaughter brought me a Primarni [Primark] dressing gown to the hospital, so I ended up on the front page of the newspaper wearing it. I thought surely there must be more important things going on in the world," she joked.
The I'm A Celebrity star had previously gone into detail about how the mishap happened. He explained: "I thought I'm taking up two parking spaces here I better move forward a bit. I didn't go over her foot, half of Sandra's ankle was sliced like bacon."

During the same interview, Harry admitted that it was "difficult" for his family when his son Jamie and former daughter-in-law Louise went their separate ways.
"It was difficult when Jamie and Louise got divorced because both sets of our parents were married until they died, so we weren't used to that," he said. "We tried to never interfere, though, and have all managed to stay friends. Everyone seems happy now."
This comes just weeks after Harry and Sandra discussed relationship problems with This Morning viewers. The ex-West Ham manager and his wife listened to callers' issues – while they promoted their new book When Harry Met Sandra – and advised one fan to: "Keep working at it!"
When asked about their marriage secrets, Sandra responded: "We make it look easy." Harry added: "It's hard for us to say because things have been so good for us, but people get married and things happen, and you have to work it out."
