“I’m not going to tell you… they’re not there a lot, but they usually come home in the summer,” she began.
She added at the end, after being repeatedly asked to name them, “She doesn’t do it any more … I think Bec Hewitt did it a bit.”
The Hewitt clan are believed to be based back in Sydney after having a base in Melbourne and a home in the Bahamas.

The on-air reveal comes weeks after Ritchie, 46, had a rather emotional chat with Hollywood star Kate Winslet on air when the actress appeared on air to talk about her new film, Lee.
She fought back tears as she thanked Titanic stars Winslet, 49, for her powerful stance and message on body image and positivity over the years.

“I also just want to thank you for the conversations that you have and that you continue to have about body image,” Ritchie began.
“And I guess we’ve had very different careers, but what we do have in common is that we somewhat grew up in the public eye.
“I grew on a television show, and I have to say what I see of you out and about in all of these videos and podcasts, and talking about as women and as young girls growing up, and having people comment about us and pass judgment. and feel as though it’s OK to say certain things.
“I think that intrinsically, we’ve always known that it’s not OK, but it’s been … a really hard conversation to have.”

“I hope you know the value of you having these conversations, because it makes me, and I’m sure millions of other willing women…” she trailed off, getting emotional.

“The fact that we can hear you say those things, it really has opened the door for all of us. So that’s my heartfelt thank you,” Ritchie said.
Winslet said she thinks ”women are getting better at standing up for each other as well as standing up for ourselves”.
A few years ago, Winslet revealed that insisted the director didn’t cut out her ‘bulgy belly’ in Mare of Easttown sex scene.
She recently told Harper’s Bazaar UK she was filming Lee and a crew member suggested she should “sit up straighter” in an effort to hide her “belly rolls”.
“There’s a bit where Lee’s sitting on a bench in a bikini… and one of the crew came up between takes and said: ‘You might want to sit up straighter.’ So you can’t see my belly rolls? It was deliberate, you know?” Winslet said.
