However, because of the pandemic, the 12-year-old has been unable to do this.

Admitting to feeling sad for her daughter, Nicole said: "The frustration with COVID is she usually comes on set and watches, but this time she can’t due to the COVID protocols."

"We never leave the kids, one of us is always there. When Keith went to Nashville and I had to work late nights, I rang Ant and asked her to move in with the girls and she did, and brought along her kids.

"That's special. It's the nature of what we're all having to do now – you get to be commune-like; this extended family where you're all raising each other's kids together.
