He said: “Grandparents who are living together, they can’t as there’s two of them.

“But if there’s one of them, they can go and visit their grandchildren. But if they have other grandchildren elsewhere, they can only choose one.”

Meanwhile, he added: “Couples who’ve been living apart can go and have sex in their support bubbles.”
