Wayne and Frankie Bridge found it "difficult" to find time to have sex when schools were closed.

The couple have been homeschooling Parker, seven, and five-year-old Carter since January and admitted the youngsters have "come close" to interrupting them doing the deed because of their preference to make love in the day time.
Wayne, 40, said: “I’m up and down to be honest — it’s one of them because of our kids and the lockdown.
"Bedtime’s become harder so [sex] has become a daytime thing.
“But that’s also been quite tough because of home- schooling . . . it’s quite difficult.
“There have been times with them coming close to catching us!
“I like a late-night one but my missus isn’t as keen — she likes a bit earlier, and she likes to go to bed early as well. I do like daytime [sex] as well — it makes you feel good afterwards.”
The former footballer - who also has 14-year-old Jaydon from a previous relationship - has been with Frankie since 2011 and he still finds her as attractive as he ever did.
Reflecting on the Valentine's Card he bought her last month, which bore the slogan, "You still make my k*** throb", he said: “You can be together for a long time and it doesn’t make it do it, but she still makes me stand to attention.
"So I thought it was a good card. She liked it.”
The former 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' hitmaker admitted he was unsure what to do with his life after he retired from football in 2014 but now he's content at home with his family.
Speaking to Archie Curzon on 'The Rig Biz' podcast, he said: “I’ve lacked self-confidence since I was a kid, mainly because of probably my intelligence in school.
“I was always afraid to get up and speak in case I got it wrong. Football was a bit of a release for me.
"And since my career ended I thought, ‘I need to do something’, and never found out what it is.
But I am really happy in the position I’m in and being able to stay at home with my kids.
"I don’t want to chase the next big thing.
“I’m more happy within myself as a person.”
