“When I went into labour Brooke was there and she waited in my room for me to get back from the birthing suite.”

Dana highlighted some of her favourite memories with Brooke who she described as “sweet” and “funny”.

“We’ve had some very good times, she’s always been there when I needed a friend to go do girly things with,” she said.

“I wanted her to have a sisterly feeling because she only has brothers.
