"I think the secret to a happy marriage is to really support each other," she told HELLO!. "Understand that there will be highs and lows. You won’t always agree about everything, but you need to enjoy each other's company. Percy is such an amazing man, he is so kind and so caring.

"People get married on the crest of lust. Once that's gone, they look and think: 'What the hell? Who is this person?' There has to be something else to fall back on. If there isn't, they start looking."

She continued: "My children just adore him – and the grandchildren too. He's wonderful with them, extremely patient. He's always answering SOS calls when one of them has had their computer stolen or dropped their phone in the loo. He somehow manages to sort everything out, even when he's in a different country."
