"Neither of us knows what's going on at the moment but we're spending time together and seeing how things go... Dan hasn't moved back in, but we're seeing what happens. He's here a lot helping with Ella and he'll be hands-on when the baby arrives... We're getting on at the moment and that's the most important thing to us."
