The 29-year-old star and Marius Iepure - who married in 2012 - have been keeping things interesting in quarantine by surprising each other with amorous gestures, and the person who does the best job gets awarded a tasty treat.

She said: "I love being home with him all the time. Never have we spent so much time together.

"I said to Marius, \'Let\'s do this thing where we surprise each other with dates.\' Just a lovely date in the day. You never know when it\'s going to come and the winner gets something at the end of the week. It can be breakfast, lunch, brunch or supper.
