Steph is the wife of the legendary footballer / goal keeper Peter Shilton OBE, MBE (don't mention Maradona!) who literally saved Peter from his 45 year gambling addiction.
Steph and Peter are now helping others who find themselves in the same situation, not only that but she is part of 'The Six To Ten' organisation that concentrates on giving support to 'affected others' or loved ones of gambling addicts who also need special support.
I find out why Peter started to gamble, that suicide is a real issue with gambling addiction, and that gambling can increase crime too.
Steph who is qualified in the subject tells me what it was like living with Peter and his problem, how they both coped, and what they are now doing to help others.
It's a fascinating interview.
Peter's book 'Saved' is available on Amazon and is an excellent read.
