The TV personality had known Sue, 45, for years but it wasn’t until Anna, 44, split up with her longterm boyfriend that they then fell in love.
Anna split with her ex-boyfriend after 18 years together, and it was at a party the newly single TV presenter realised how she felt towards Sue.
She told The Telegraph: "The planets were singing, there was something magical in the air and I suddenly realised that I found this person magnetic and extraordinary and wanted her in my life. Luckily that's what she felt too.
"There was something in the air. It was an extraordinary night. I was dancing on the table. It felt like a defining moment in my life.''
"I found her intriguing,” she added.
"For me, it's just a case of I am who I am. I'm not interested in being labelled gay or straight, my sexuality is fluid. I just happen to have fallen in love with a woman – simple as that.''
She said previously on Lorraine Kelly’s morning talk show: “I was with my boyfriend for nearly 20 years and I’ve known Sue on the circuit but about a year and a half ago we met at a party and I was recently single and we just… all I can say, there was an understanding between us and for me the planets aligned and I just thought, this person, it’s not even about a woman, this person is absolutely extraordinary.”
