"There was a lot of tears. But happy tears. It had been a long time coming. Aljaz is like me, we're both so close to our family… not to spend time with his family for so, so long, it was really tough. Also our second niece, Tisa, was born in lockdown, so we'd not even met her."
She added: "We literally didn't do anything other than like be at his mum's home and eat cooked food, spend time with the girls. That's basically what we just did, on repeat for the whole time that we were. And we were in the snow which was nice."
