Church 's personal life has often been reported in UK tabloid newspapers , inspiring the song " Let 's Be Alone " on her album '' Tissues and Issues '' . At age 15 she was criticised for remarks attributed to her by the '' New York Post '' in which she allegedly criticised " the hero status afforded to New York firefighters " in the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 attacks . She apologised for the remarks one month later , as well as at the Leveson Inquiry in 2011 , stating that her comments were taken out of context . In a 2006 interview with Davina McCall , she agreed being diplomatic was " not in her nature " . In November 2011 , Church testified before the Leveson Inquiry about the media intrusion into her personal life stating " I 've been made a caricature for so long , and this person portrayed in the tabloids really is n't me . It 's not the person I am , and it 's had a massive impact on my career . As an artist , I find it hard to be taken seriously because my credibility has been blown to bits . " On 27 February 2012 Church accepted £ 600,000 in damages and costs in settlement of a lawsuit arising out of the News International phone hacking scandal . She had claimed that 33 stories about her that appeared in the '' News of the World '' were the product of illegal hacking into her family 's voicemail . After the settlement was announced in open court she made a lengthy statement in which she said , " I have also discovered that despite the apology which the newspaper has just given in court , these people were prepared to go to any lengths to prevent me exposing their behaviour . They are not truly sorry . They are just sorry they got caught . " The press devoted much attention to Church 's relationship with boyfriend Gavin Henson , a Welsh rugby player . At the end of 2005 , she bought a property in her native Cardiff — for a reported £ 500,000 — which she later sold for £ 900,000 . The couple then bought a manor with a 20-acre ( 8 hectare ) small holding in the Vale of Glamorgan in the village of St. Bride 's Major . The couple mentioned marriage on talk shows and in the press ; they eventually became engaged in April 2010 . In 2007 , Church made another appearance on a British young people 's rich list with Henson . They were ranked 49th-richest young people in Britain with an estimated joint wealth of £ 12 million
