The Breakfast TV queen recently revealed to Piers Morgan that she still enjoys a healthy love life with hubby, Steve Smith - despite 'Daybreak' starting at 6am.

Asked if her early starts had ruined things in the bedroom between her and cameraman Steve, she said: “I don’t think it does. Afternoon delight.”

She added: “I’m down here but he’s up there. But we see each other at weekends.”
