Earlier this month, Kate appeared on This Morning and spoke about how they’re dealing with lockdown.

She said: “It’s really hard.

“We hadn’t done a huge amount of FaceTime and face calls and things like that, but obviously we’re doing that a lot more now, and actually it’s been really great.

“In some ways I suppose we’ve got a lot more face time than perhaps we would have done before but it is difficult.
