Married. Annoyed. podcast about their relationship, arguments, annoyances and parenting.But the biggest disagreement they have is about parenting their two boys, Robin, 10 and four-year-old Rafe, they reveal.

Sitting in the kitchen of their home in South Shields, comedian Chris admits: "I'm a bit more strict and I think I sometimes want too much of them. I'll say, 'Get ready! Why aren't you ready immediately?"

Rosie, presenter and social media star, chips in: "I always say, they're not little robots. And Robin, who you get frustrated with, is exactly like you."

The couple, whose eponymous BBC TV chat show was axed last year, still have a busy time juggling work and family life, what with their popular podcast, which began in 2019, plus TV appearances, but have found time to squeeze in their second colourful, lighthearted children's picture book, There's A Poonami At Christmas.

"Couples argue, which is totally normal," Rosie muses, "but we learned a long time ago that you have to compromise."

"And we make each other laugh," Chris continues. "Sometimes we'll be arguing and we can just make each other laugh and it all disappears. I don't want to be too soppy, but we've been really lucky to have just found someone that fits."

They may not agree on everything, but the good-natured banter, gentle put-downs and funny asides barely disguise the underlying love they clearly share for each other as they navigate family life - and remain in agreement over important parenting decisions like phones and social media.

They carefully mask the faces of their two boys when posting family shots on Instagram.
