For many people, the recent lockdown has been very challenging, but Nigel Havers has confessed he couldn’t be happier, as it means he’s been spending lots of time with his wife of 13 years, Georgiana Bronfman.
With a chuckle, the 68-year-old actor says, ‘I actually said to her about two months ago, “I’ve been working back to back, I’d love to have a break,” and she said, “Well, you might get one, you never know,” and here we are!’
Nigel and Georgiana wed three years after his second wife, Polly Williams, died from ovarian cancer in 2004, aged 54. Georgiana was a mutual friend and Nigel has spoken about how she comforted him through his grief.
He adds, ‘Lockdown has been great. We are very close, we love being on our own together, so it’s not been any strain or stress for us. It’s lovely.
‘There’s nothing you can do about it so you might as well just lie back and enjoy it. I just obey what I’ve been told to do, which is keep your distance, don’t go out unless you have to, and keep cool, keep calm and carry on – and watch TV!’
