Speaking on the Reality TV & Me podcast, Tracey, 37, says that Cyrell overreacted – but she does not blame her.

‘It’s a tough one. It’s different when you’re a mum. Jess isn’t a mum, so she didn’t fully understand all the ins and outs of how protective you can get as a mum,’ Tracey told the podcast.
She added: ‘I didn’t like the way Cyrell handled it. There’s no need for violence, there’s no need for aggression.
‘We can all say our piece civilly. I am not a fan of her behaviour and how she handled it, but I can understand being a protective mum and looking out for your family.’

Upset: Jessika (pictured) fled the reunion in tears after her clash with Cyrell
Tracey added that she feels Jessika – who fled in tears after the clash with Cyrell – has matured since appearing on the show, and she enjoyed catching up with her.
‘Jess has grown a lot. I was impressed with how much she has grown and how much she has learned,’ she said.
However, she added that she understands that the reality TV experience has been harder for Cyrell.
Parental concerns: ‘It’s a tough one. It’s different when you’re a mum. Jess isn’t a mum, so she didn’t fully understand all the ins and outs of how protective you can get as a mum,’ Tracey said

‘It’s a trigger for Cyrell more than others, because she has had a lot of criticism,’ Tracey said.
‘And when you bring in race and the fact that she is partnered with someone else from reality TV… I think she is sensitive to those issues, and she got triggered’.
Tracey specified that ‘no one was having a go at anyone’s race at the dinner table’ but there was a discussion on the different challenges faced by cast members from immigrant backgrounds, versus those with white Anglo-Saxon backgrounds.

Fight club: Tracey admitted that items were being thrown across the room during the explosive argument between Jessika and Cyrell
Tracey, who is expecting a child with with her partner Nathan Constable, admitted that items were being thrown across the room during the explosive argument between Jessika and Cyrell – and she fled in order not to be hit.
She went on to reveal that when the stars came back to film the second episode, this time with the relationship experts, it mostly went smoothly.
‘It ended on a good note, and was a really positive experience. But Cyrell still chose to walk out,’ Tracey said.
