Opening up to HELLO! Magazine, Ed said: “Amy and I moved to the countryside, just an hour from central London six months ago and have been busy renovating the house. I grew up nearby and my two brothers live close by. We are surrounded by countryside and I wake up in the morning and walk around and there’s no one but us and my neighbour’s horses. We are very, very happy.”
Discussing plans for Christmas, the TV star said: “We don’t have a dining room table yet. We are very excited and I’m picturing us having Christmas dinner around it together. Although one of my brothers and his wife and kids who were meant to be coming over are now going away. Families are funny! Trying to get everyone together is hard. We all want to do our own thing. But we are a very close family.”
