Michaela first met Jimmy while she was filming for Jamie’s Kitchen on a pig farm in Cumbria.
They now have four daughters, who were born between 2010 and 2018.
After moving to the countryside having started up their own company, Michaela told the East Anglian Times:
I just feel lucky to be getting this opportunity with Jim. There’s no one there saying do this, do that. The decisions are ours and the mistakes are all our own. We are together and we can go through it together.
Michaela and Jim often escape to the coast when they have time off.
