The “national trinket” shares the seven-bedroom 15th century cottage with his husband Ian Mackley, who he married in 2016. Also in residence back then was the couple’s six-year-old Staffy/Jack Russell cross Albie and dear little Valerie, a deaf whippet cross who sadly passed away four years ago.
Julian, now 60, made his name in comedy but went on to attract additional fans for his theatre work, children’s novels and his 2012 Big Brother win. He’d taken a step back from the limelight in recent years and his postponed stand-up show Born To Mince is now rescheduled for 2021.

Thankfully, as we chatted over a fresh pot tea on the patio, Julian confirmed he hadn’t suffered a debilitating day-long panic attack for years.
