The couple tied the knot in 2004

"It was probably most tricky for Emer Heatley [who plays John's secretary, Sheila Buckley]."

"It was her first or second acting job, faced with us as a married couple, playing a married couple where she was having an affair with my husband. We had lots of those scenes together, which was really awkward, but very funny."
