‘She sees a lot of herself in Carla and respects her. She is feisty and strong – a powerhouse. She also has a big heart.’

Vicky added: ‘I think it would be really nice to see their friendship develop, or just a friendship in general for Lisa. I think she needs that. Somebody to talk to instead of trying to do it all by herself.’
