It looks like Will's other half wants to stay out of the spotlight, as she has yet to make an appearance on his social media channels.

He replied: "There's an amazing team there at the barn and it's a lovely show! Just watching that, there's a lump in my throat. We're so invested in the item and the people bringing them in.
