“School term time is really busy for them, and in telly land it’s as busy as ever too now that the world has opened up again – there’s so much more stuff to do.

“It’s all lovely of course, but it is nice to get that marker in the sand. I tend to take a bit of a break from social media at the same time as well, so for me, when I come back in September I’m ready to start again. It’s a real re-set for me.”
