The former 'Only Way is Essex' star insists he won't have a problem watching his wife get intimate with someone else when she makes a cameo appearance in comedy series 'Plebs' and says the brunette beauty gets more embarrassed than he does.

Asked if he finds watching her sex scenes difficult, he said: "No not one single bit. It's funny. It's her job, isn't it?

"I find it hilarious. If anything, I try to wind her up because she gets more embarrassed and more nervous to see it back than I do. I just love it and laugh and tease her. A sensible person would know that when you're filming a scene like that, there's 30 other people in the room and they're calling 'cut', restarting every minute... it's not one single bit a reason for the partner to ever get upset. You'd be stupid if you did."

The couple - who celebrate their first wedding anniversary in May - have been apart for the last few weeks while Michelle films 'Our Girl' in South Africa, but will soon be reunited, though it seems they won't get a lot of time alone together.

Speaking to HELLO! magazine, he said: "It's my first time going to South Africa and I've heard so many good things, so I am so excited to go over.

"For three or four days I'm going to be with Michelle's mum and her brother, then they leave and my mum and dad fly out.

"I treated them for Christmas - my dad's dream has always been to go on a safari. By the time I get there I won't have seen Michelle for three weeks. It's never easy being apart for so long, but it's been done before."
