I didn’t want him to be born when I was going through what I was.”Following David’s red card, footie supporters chanted crudely, and Victoria said: “We were getting kidnapping threats since we had Brooklyn, and you can’t understand how that hurts since we couldn’t hide.’ “These are all things that are now coming back to me and I find it quite stressful now because I’ve blocked so much of it out and I think David has as well.”Picture having a baby and receiving deаth threats.
