While speaking to Progress ahead of the bout, LA Taylor and Skye were asked how their friendship has changed since they split from The Lana Austin Experience, with the pair noting that their bond is stronger than ever.

Skye: If anything it’s made our friendship and partnership stronger. We’re best friends, sometimes we hate each other, sometimes we annoy each other to death. But we’re adults and we discuss it as such. Lana turning on us only made us realise how lucky we are to have each other. Because no matter what – we have each others back and we want eachother to succeed!

LA: Skye and I have always been close, we’ve always made a great team. It’s because it’s based on trust, respect and true friendship. That’s always been there, it’s just more obvious to everyone else now.
