Recipe for successful marriage: food, sex and Sky Sports

Jul 6 2008 Elaine C. Smith

MY husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary last week (we've been an item for 28 years, believe it or not) - and after all these years we actually still like each other most of the time.

We still fight like cat and dog and he drives me bonkers but Bob is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without him in my life.

Folk have asked us how we've managed to survive together, particularly in showbiz, and what is the secret to a long-lasting marriage. Here's my secret. I agree with comedian Chris Rock when he says men want food, sex and silence (in that order) but I'd like to add that I have found Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports 2 and Sky Sports 3 do the trick.

Works for us. Well, maybe not the silence bit.
