She said ahead of the festive season: ‘Christmas will be reasonably quiet. [Our daughter] Rosie threw us a surprise anniversary party last month with all our friends and family, so luckily we don’t have the pressure to see everyone.
“We will continue to do Zoom calls with the family.”
This Christmas, Lorraine’s husband was taking over the kitchen because he “cooks so much better,” so he planned to clean up afterwards.
Before December 25 he said: ‘We’ll have dinner later than usual as Rosie will be working until 3pm, Steve is a much better cook so he’ll take care of everything.
