Clare Balding says appearing on Gogglebox with her wife, Alice Arnold, has helped audiences understand same-sex relationships
The couple, who joined the Channel 4 programme in 2021, have received warm feedback from viewers of all ages
Balding believes everyday visibility can complement political campaigning and legal change
The broadcaster also explores love and lasting partnerships in her new novel, Pastures New
After three decades in television and radio, she hopes to spend more time at home, enjoying golf, walking, Pilates and books with Arnold while continuing to choose work more selectively.
