Konnie Huq is at home with her husband Charlie Brooker and their young sons when new catches up with her – and it sounds like she’s got her hands full. “Sorry, I have a child clinging on to me!” she laughs as we chat away.
The ex-Blue Peter presenter has been busy in lockdown, as she’s homeschooling Covey, eight, and Huxley, six. “I’ve been doing homeschooling videos where we’ve been baking,” she tells us. “Lockdown has flown by – it’s like being in a different dimension in a time warp.”
Although she’s been occupied with her kids, Konnie’s still enjoyed quality time with Charlie, 49, who’s best known for creating the drama Black Mirror and his satirical TV Wipe specials. The couple will be celebrating 10 years of marriage in July after tying the knot in Las Vegas. She says they haven’t got anything planned for the milestone, but admits they wouldn’t rule out renewing their wedding vows.
Here, Konnie, 44, lifts the lid on working with her other half, her Blue Peter days and what she’s missed most during lockdown…
Hi Konnie! How have you been coping over the past few weeks?
It’s surreal, but I like to think I’m coping. But I will say I’m finding homeschooling a barrel of laughs!
Are you finding it stressful?
My oldest son asks, “What’s on the timetable next?” He’s so conscientious he gets worried if something’s not on the timetable. But with my youngest, I’m literally trying to get him to do anything.
Do the boys have different personalities?
