‘Like, honestly, just the bog standard normal things that happen. Obviously, we just happened to be filming a TV show at the same time.
‘It was just a normal thing that every single pair of parents goes through at some point in their relationship with children.
‘I know that so many people will watch that and be like, “that is so normal”.
‘We’re literally going through that now.’
