<p>Tziporah Malkah has revealed the real reason for calling off her wedding with James Packer, with the 44-year-old former model who was once known as Kate Fischer holding nothing back in a recent interview with <em>A Current Affair</em>.</p> <p>“I was heartbroken,” she said of the split.</p> <p>“I was very smitten with him, I was in love with him. It took me about eight years to get over it... I fantasised for years about us getting back together.”</p> <p><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FACurrentAffair9%2Fvideos%2F1542527912520247%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560" width="560" height="315" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p> <p>Tziporah said ultimately it was James’ busy work commitments that caused her to call off the two-year engagement, with the formal model admitting, “He was under so much pressure from work and I just refused to marry a credit card.”</p> <p>The one-time star also revealed she has cast the jewellery from her ex-boyfriend into the ocean as part of a cathartic experience to help deal with the grief.</p> <p>“I did the whole walk from here [Bondi Beach] to Clovelly one night with one of my cousins,” she explained.</p> <p>“And at separate points that meant something to me I'd throw a piece of jewellery out into the ocean.”</p> <p>What are your thoughts?

I will not be going to gaol as per the magistrate’s ruling yesterday. I pray for the health of my mother and family at this time.”</p> <p>Their reunion comes 10 months after Tziporah, who was a contestant on the most recent series of <em>I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here</em>, opened up about her fractured relationship with Pru in an interview on <em>The Project</em>.</p> <p>“It has always been quite a difficult relationship,” she said. “I respect my mother and I understand my mother... that she is not motherly.”</p> <p>In an interview with <em>Stellar </em>magazine, Pru, who is the New South Wales Minister for Family and Community Services and Minister for Social Housing, made a brief comment on their estrangement: “We’ll see. We have quite a few years to go.”</p> <p>And it looks like their reunion couldn’t come at a better time, with the <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/victoria/packers-exfiancee-now-lives-on-100-a-week-20171215-h05akz.html" target="_blank"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sydney Morning Herald</span></em></strong></a> reporting Tziporah “now lives on $100 a week”.</p> <p>During court proceedings for her driving charge, her lawyer Michael Kuzilny said the 44-year-old was “very financially disadvantaged” after being embroiled in a Los Angeles real estate scam, in which she lost $2 million.</p>
