Quotes

"It was unbelievable. She would be at my place and get a call from Ronnie. She'd go off and meet him in some swanky bar and wouldn't come back. He started inviting her to Ireland. She also modelled for his paintings and he told her she would get a cut if any of them sold. I was a bit jealous - I couldn't really compete." -Chris Kiely, Ivanova's ex-boyfriend⁶
