The pair recently went to see a marriage coach and Katherine was surprised to learn she frequently speaks over Bobby.

'It wasn't an aspiration of mine for a lot of my life, and all of a sudden I reconnected with Bobby and we got married straight away.'. Bobby moved from Canada to the UK to be with Katherine and he has become stepfather to her daughter Violet, 16, who she had from a previous relationship. The couple opened the doors to their private life in the second series of At Home With Katherine which also sees them visit an intimacy coach.

The comedian said she and Bobby have sex around five times a month and have to 'get creative' about it since they have three children in the house. Katherine and Bobby would like to have another child but she believes it could be difficult as they are both 41. It comes after Katherine previously claimed she won't take part in Strictly Come Dancing because she's not ready to cheat on her husband. The BBC show has long been known for the 'curse' that befalls some contestants who end up dating their dance partner, despite some being already in relationships.

The couple are parents to Fred, three, and Fenna, two, while Bobby is stepfather to Katherine's daughter Violet, 16. And in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the comedian noted that she would decline the dance show because she's not ready to be unfaithful to Bobby - before quipping that it doesn't mean she wouldn't change her mind in the future.
