"Felicity made a very charming Jane," said Professor Hawking, before adding: "The film was surprisingly honest about our marriage, it reflects our struggle to bring up three children, despite my disability.

Felicity said of meeting Jane for the first time: "When she opened the door she was like a ray of sunshine, very open, very warm, you can't imagine what she went through."
