Carol doesn't typically give much away about her personal life, and hasn't even confirmed her husband-to-be's name, but it is believed the pair live together at Carol's home judging by comments she has previously made about their relationship.

Speaking with Prima Magazine in June 2021, Carol revealed the romantic way her then-boyfriend takes care of her at home, explaining: "He always makes me a cup of tea before I go to work in the morning, which is very romantic - it's 2.45am and he often leaves me a little love note for when I come home from work. That, to me, is worth a million red roses."

Clearly smitten with her new man, Carol added: "He is the best thing that's ever happened to me, without a shadow of a doubt."

In an interview with the Daily Express, Carol previously concluded that Donald "ruled the roost" at home. "If I'm late back from work, I get a right telling off," she explained.

"He can do no wrong. He'll sit outside his treats cupboard, look at me with his big green eyes and I simply can't say no."
