"By the way, I want you to know that what you are looking at here, is the only photograph that Mark has ever taken of me during vacation. And yes, he waited for that moment."
Kelly then told Ryan that she had asked her children to recreate the picture as she thought it would be a fun thing to discuss on TV, but they were less than impressed!

"Like 'hey, let's recreate this photo as it will be really funny for me to show everyone on TV. Just to have something to talk about.
"But they thought that was too much of me to ask of them. They said 'Look mum, we're not just props for you to use on TV,' but I said 'Until you get jobs, you kind of are!'"
