He’s my pal. He’s my sidekick. We have this connection, just looking over and he makes me laugh. He really, really makes me laugh.I love you, tWitch. We tell each other that every day when we say goodbye after the show. We both say, ‘Love you.’ He says, ‘Love you much,’ and I say, ‘Love you.’ So, he’s never gonna be out of my life. He’s always gonna be a part of my life.”- she said in the clips.
