Maureen recently opened up about her difficult experience in lockdown as she was unable to isolate with her partner Guido Castro due to his health problems.

It meant the couple had to been kept apart.

She told Prima magazine: "Guido and I have been apart recently – we couldn’t self-isolate together because of his health – but I feel lucky that we have that."

She added of her man: "I haven’t always been the best wife, mother or lover – I think I’m a bit hit and miss – but I recognise a good man when I see him."

"The secret to maintaining things is not letting go of the basic spark that brought you together.

"It’s like when you meet your best friends from school.

"You might have nothing in common now, but that essence is still there and you laugh at the same things because of it."
