The presenter, who appears on the popular daytime show alongside Laura Hamilton and Danni Menzies, previously opened up about how he felt working away from his family for the show. He told The Express: "I'm a real homebody, I love being around my family and being around my kids, they're the number one thing in my life."
He went on to explain how lockdown brought them closer together but made it more difficult to leave them, saying: "To be intensely with them for all that time [through lockdown] and then all of a sudden not, that was quite tough."
