She grabbed a coffee, and resisted the cakes, before heading home to do some more work on her book. Carol heaped praise on the Clifton area of Bristol, she said: “I love Clifton Bristol. So much busier nowadays than when we moved here 16 years ago but just as beautiful.”

On Sunday evening, Carol took to her Instagram stories to give her fans a little update on her day. She said: “So this afternoon, I haven’t been out in the sun. I’ve been finishing off a synopsis for a book I want to write, a book that I’ve wanted to write for a long time.”

She continued: “I’m very very excited about it, and I’ve been nagged and nagged by a few publishers to get the synopsis written. So instead of *****ing around on Instagram - that’s what I should be doing!”
