The couple have a 17-month-old daughter together called Eliza and she was part of the reason why Natalie decided to take back Adam, who has been sober for two months.
Adam admitted two counts of assault by beating and one offence of criminal damage last June and was sentenced to 120 hours unpaid work.

We don't know exactly what goes on behind closed doors.. you can't tell me that every man who has had these sorts of problems has failed to rehabiliate himself and change. I've been in a violent relationship before and although we're not back together, we are friends and his manner is completely different now due to him completing a 2 year counselling programme, group and individual and due to his own personal hatred of his actions. We get on very well and I wouldn't completely close the door to reconciling in the future. It's been years, but the time would need to be right.

Her daughter is so young she would not remember the seperation any way. It has only been 9 months apart, not nearly long enough.

I have seen women take men back time and again despite continuous beatings. I pray he is seeking help for his drinking and will not attack her again, but I will not be surprised to hear he has.

You silly, silly woman. You have let down so many beaten, downtrodden women when you had a voice to speak out. Pathetic. I hope your daughter never meets a coward like her father but she probably will with you as a role model..
