While many of us have battled with the unwelcome isolation of lockdown, Kate Humble hasn’t really noticed the difference.

The 51-year-old TV presenter – who lives with her husband, Ludo Graham, on a farm in Monmouthshire – reveals her Animal Park co-host and good friend Ben Fogle rang her up at the beginning of lockdown saying, ‘You’re the one person I’m not remotely worried about because you never see anybody anyway. You just hate people, so you’ll be fine!’

Kate laughs, ‘I don’t hate people, but we do live on a beautiful Welsh hill with all our animals. We’ve been lambing and now we’re calving and there are lots of jobs to do, so I’ve been really busy – it’s all been the same as normal.’

As a keen lover of the outdoors, Kate reveals she wakes up at six in the morning every day to go running with her three dogs.

She says, ‘I’m just one of those people that needs to be out and moving, and I’m very lucky because where I live, that has still been possible.
