In a report from Digital Spy, Teddy explained her reasons for changing her name and expressed her gratitude for all the support.

"So for a year I have been Mrs Teddy Natalia Noemi Sinclair, and I've never felt so natural, honest and empowered...and I'm finally ready to invite you all to address me personally and I feel we are so close and I am so grateful for your support and love," she added.
