Having ditched the booze back in 2019, Susanna, 49, has managed to remain teetotal during lockdown and Piers, 55, has questioned her decision.
‘No wonder you’re so miserable,’ he said. ‘Get a bottle of wine and treat yourself.’
Susanna herself has admitted that she is ‘a lot less fun’ since quitting the booze, saying, ‘Piers and I would have these big nights out... but I haven’t done one of those since I stopped drinking. Basically, I’m a lot less fun now – as Piers tells me all the time.’
It’s not uncommon for Piers to tease Susanna – it’s part of the banter that comes with their ‘TV marriage’ – and Susanna often gives as good as she gets. But, aside from their on-screen swordplay, Susanna has been out of sorts recently, admitting she’s been struggling with her mental health.
Working with Piers for five years presumably means she’s developed a thick skin, but that doesn’t stop her being affected by social media, which she says has made her reach ‘breaking point’. For this reason, she is stepping away from the internet for ‘the sake of her sanity’.
