Javine Hylton has said that while she regrets the hurt she and MC Harvey caused their respective partners, if she had to do it again, she would.

Javine, who is now eight months pregnant with Harvey’s child, was seeing music producer Karl Gordon when she started an affair with her then West End co-star. Their relationship was exposed when Karl caught them in bed together, ending Harvey’s marriage to Alesha Dixon.

Javine told the Mirror recently: “I’d do it all again. The only regret I have is the hurt I caused. But Harvey and I wouldn’t be together without hurting people.”

“I’d probably be the first to say ‘b*tch’ right now, if I hadn’t been through it. But it crept up on us. The feeling, it was a whirlwind. Neither of us have ever felt like that. Our love was like a force and people could feel it wherever we went.”

“I’ve heard people say they’ve been immediately convinced a guy is going to be the father of their child. I thought stuff like that was strange, until it happened to me.”

“Love overruled everything - our reputations, where we’d get our next job from… it was hard but I was willing to give things up. When you know, you know. Harvey’s definitely The One.”

“We were in denial for ages. We rehearsed for about eight months and just struck up a friendship. We never flirted. He was like my older brother. I was a bit wild and he was a good mentor. Friends said they saw it happening but I was oblivious.”

“We kept saying the four of us should go out to dinner - my boyfriend, his wife - but I think subconsciously we were trying to hold back.”

“I made the decision to forget it and carry on as normal. But our feelings were too strong.”

“I knew what I’d be doing to my life and my career but everything changed. I knew what I was risking and that I would hurt people. Harvey knew what he had with Alesha. We were planning to come clean but then we got caught out.”

“I told Harvey that he didn’t have to leave Alesha. As much as I loved him I had no right to ask him to leave his wife. He came back to me and said: ‘My home doesn’t feel like my home any more. I want to be with you.’ And I thought: ‘Wow, this is moving to the next level.’”

“It was his decision. I did feel bad. I felt worse for Alesha than my ex. Then there were reports that Alesha and I were best friends, when we hardly knew each other. It made me a calculating b*tch.”

“I fell in love and I’m sorry that doing so hurt her. But there’s nothing I can really say, is there?”

“The word ’sorry’ isn’t going to make a lot of difference. But until you’ve been through it - that whole forbidden love - it’s mindblowing, it’s so powerful. It made me realise that I’ve never truly been in love before.”

“We’re not horrible people, we just couldn’t control our feelings. Should we have ignored it and then him be unhappy at home? If he were my husband I would rather he told me the truth.”
