In a new interview with The Times, The pair opened up about their realtionship, as Alice very honestly admitted: “There was very little about Clare that I found attractive at first.
“To be honest, everything about her was wrong!

“We are very honest in our guidance of each other.”
As a fellow journalist for BBC, Clare feels comfortable letting her wife help her to decide what work TV projects to take on next.
“She knows what I like and I trust her judgment entirely,” Clare explained.
“A job isn’t about how much it is worth, it’s whether I will enjoy it.
