"The next day I was with Fearne Cotton and she egged me on, but didn’t give me his number, gave me his agent’s number. Wise girl. “So I ended up ringing his agent and going – I can remember it so clearly – ‘He’s single, I’m single, ask him if he wants to go out for a boogie.’ Like it was the 70s. Kirsten O'Brien revealed her dream about Dec ( Image: Channel 4) "He never got back to me!” Kirsten, who is now married with a 10-year-old son, Fox Michael Drake and twins born in 2017, was once the toast of kids' TV.
