Speaking on the same show, social media influencer, Kirly Sue said, “It is better if both parents bring up a child. For God to have made it that two people bring a child into the world, I think it ideal that both parents bring up a child. I’m grateful for having both my parents.”
The show came to a close with a performance by Jason of The Voice, UK.
