Speaking on the podcast, Robert explained: "It's really interesting to me that we've had a very quick succession of positivity. Moments showing the couple together being happy, and they needed it.

"It was a very knee-jerk interview and he probably regretted it. That interview didn't land in the way that they had hoped.

And I think that was absolutely the only thing they could have done."
