He added: "That was an idea she had, 'Why don't we get married out here?' I was like, 'Because I'm busy trying to film a TV show where I'm in every scene'."
Ralf then joked: "She said, 'OK, maybe next year.' That's why I organised the pandemic, to make sure I had an excuse to put it down the line."
Ralf, 40, is engaged to playwright Lindsey Ferrentino. The couple are thought to have been together for three years after he landed a part in her play Ugly Lies the Bone at the National Theatre.
