She told how the couple, who have five children, have been trying to return to lead a normal life since his stunning victory.

“He’s done the school run, he’s taking the rubbish to the tip and he’s pottered around a bit in the garden. It’s all about trying to get back to normality,” she said.

She insists fame and glory haven’t changed him, adding ‘he even went on at me the other day for buying some fancy cushions’.
