And while Julian spends most of his time in the country abode, husband Ian spends most of his working time in London, which he has admitted previously is part of the reason their relationship works so well.

Talking to OK! magazine, the comic revealed: 'It's the perfect arrangement because we get to have one space from each other.

Discussing the prospect of extending his family, he confessed: 'I've ruled it out. I consider myself too old now. When you get to a certain age and you haven't had children, it's natural to give it some thought, but you have to make a decision.'
