Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling rarely speaks to her mother.

The former 'Beverly Hills 90210' actress, who is trying to repair her marriage to Dean McDermott after he cheated on her late last year, admits she still has "a really complicated relationship" with Candy Spelling, but insists they aren't embroiled in a feud.

The 41-year-old star, who has four children, Liam, seven, Stella, five, Hattie, three, and Finn, two, with Dean, told E! News: "There's definitely not a feud. And out of respect for the relationship and because it's my mom, I don't want to get into details.

"I don't want to make it a she said, she said. But, um, there's not currently much of a relationship."

Speaking on her reality TV show 'True Tori' this week, she also said: "My mom and I have a really complicated relationship. We see each other when it's appropriate for the children."

Tori recently admitted Candy, who she has frequently clashed with since the death of her father, Aaron Spelling, in 2006, never contacted her when she was hospitalised for severe bronchitis and possible pneumonia in October.

She also posted a cryptic message, hinting she was angry at her mother, on Twitter at the time, writing: "This sick in hospital I finally see how quickly life can take it all away frm you. We all need 2 step up frm inside& go 4 it! W/our friends by our side. Sadly I've finally faced truth that 1 person will never be there 4 me #TrueTori (sic)."

Candy addressed her strained relationship with Tori in her memoir, 'Candy At Last,' earlier this year, writing: "I am by no means saying that I am the perfect mother now or I didn't make mistakes when my children were growing up.

"Having said that, I also believe that there comes a time when you have to stop blaming your parents."
