Speaking to host Jonathan Ross, Stephen said: “I was on The Morning Show [in the US]. I had dinner with my American agent, he said, ‘What do you do when you’re not called on set?’ and I said, ‘My husband and I, we don’t go to Hollywood parties much, we have an early supper, watch Jeopardy! go to bed…’”

Elliot – who is a comedian – met Stephen Fry in 2014 and their romance began that summer.

“We laugh all the time,” he added.

“Humour is the binding thing in our life.
