Laura Whitmore has revealed she was worried about spending a lot of time with her boyfriend, comedian Iain Stirling, during isolation. 

Speaking on the Private Parts podcast with Jamie Laing and Francis Boulle the Bray native explained:  "At the start, I was worried, very worried. We live together, but we don't see a lot of each other. 

"Ian is a comedian so he has a lot of late-night gigs. I get up a lot earlier than him if I am doing radio. 

Laughing, the TV and radio presenter continued: "What I have discovered is that I quite like my boyfriend! It’s such a huge relief as I wasn’t sure which way it was going to go. 

"What I have realised is, is that my dog is a pain in the a**. He just follows me everywhere. Literally everywhere. 

"Boyfriend is ok, dog is a little bit of a nightmare."

She added: "I know everybody is having a really hard time, but I am trying to see some positives.

"We used to do a shop in Sainsbury come home, cook dinner together and for us that was such a novelty.

"We don’t really get to do what people might find mundane, but now we are cooking together every night and it has been really lovely.

 "I feel like I really needed this time. At the beginning of the year there was a lot of travel there was a lot of pressure, there was dealing with a lot of things I didn’t get a chance to deal with because I was constantly moving."
