I hope not."But the wheels of change turn slowly."Speaking on Sky TV's 10-part series Driving Force in 2020, Judy explained how as a parent she needed to be very much apart of her two children's road to fame."If you’re going to take a young athlete on a journey that may lead them to superstardom, you need to prepare them for everything that will be part of that journey," she said earnestly."And not just them, their immediate family as well, because it affects
