"The problem is, people think we've got like 10 nannies and a butler, but it's me and Joe," the mum-of-five went on to tell Women's Own. "So when I work, he's got to have the kids. When he works, I have the kids. So, at the minute, doing jobs together is really difficult. If my dad retired and we could get some babysitting. then we could. We would love to do a show together.
