Speaking to Which Bingo about how the couple are navigating the festive period, she explained: “We can’t do half and half because he’s in Bath and I’m in Manchester, so it’s hard to have those Christmas days split up.” We take turns. I think it’s important to be fair when deciding who gets the children for Christmas.’
