And the Motherland and Bad Sisters creator revealed the only thing she rues about her divorce was that it did not happen sooner after she stuck with her husband for a long time despite the relationship not working.

'And I feel like it's weirdly connected to confidence as well, or also that thing of what you should do versus what your body tells you and your brain tells you that you ought to do. 'It's like the Catastrophe story. We got together, we had a baby, and we made it work for a long time. We had another baby, and he was involved in the business. But there came a point where it was so clear that it wasn't right for either of us.

'I don't know whether it's being slightly a bit Catholic - some of that stuff still being in me was just that idea of not getting divorced. You don't get divorced. Just stay in it - it's so much harder to go through all that, to go through a divorce.'.
