Wow That's a shock to system .but as you say if that's the way she feels good luck To her. Must Take some guts to reveal to family and friends and strangers for that matter.
He always used to say on capital when the other two asked why he never had a girlfriend that 'I'm just not interested in having one'. I always thought he was gay, but clearly there was much more to it. Can't imagine how difficult it must be for someone to feel that way. Takes a lot of guts and courage to come out with something like that, especially when your a well known person. Good luck hirsty! You've always done barnsley proud on the air and hope you continue to do so!
Not that it really matters but I sort of thought he must be gay as well and possibly didn't want come out for fear of it affecting his radio career - massively surprised when I found out what his/her actual situation was, it's just not something you expect but fair play.
