While lockdown proved to be the undoing for many, the Starrs are as strong as ever and Ringo describes being with her as a “pleasure”.

Ringo said: “I’m blessed she’s in my life, that’s all I can ever say.”

Actress Barbara, 73, is best known for playing Bond Girl Anya Amasova opposite the late Sir Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me.

“I love the woman,” he said. “I loved her from when I first saw her at LAX in 1980. She was at Los Angeles airport with a boyfriend and I was at the airport checking in, and we happened to be going to Mexico to do the same movie.
