Speaking about meeting Frida, Jamie said: "One of my best friends introduced us so that made it quite easy," he said of finding his second wife. "Frida had just gone through a divorce a couple of years ago.
"He said, 'You guys are made for each other, you've got the same interests'. And yeah, thankfully she's incredible, she's a great mum, ticks every box, it's just perfect! I'm very lucky."
