Caprice Bourret ’s husband is one of the few people enjoying England’s latest lockdown – as it means more time in the bedroom with the sexy star.
The model and businesswoman used the last lockdown to boost her sex life with Ty Comfort, so he was thrilled when round two was announced.
Caprice, who wed Ty last year after dating since 2011, says: “My husband is so excited about lockdown two! There were big celebrations in the Caprice and Ty house, trust me! It’s the way to get my frustrations out.
“It’s very easy for us all to get complacent so I put on a nice dress, I do my hair and make-up and I do date night with my husband – in our house, after the kids are asleep.
“We have dinner and a bottle of wine and you know what comes next!

“I make a real effort and it’s fun, it makes me feel good. So here we go again, lots of date nights, lots of getting dressed up.”
It’s been quite a year for the California-born star, who became one of the few voices of reason in Britain’s handling of the pandemic.
In March, she was relentlessly trolled and criticised after an appearance on the Jeremy Vine show in which she suggested a lockdown and that we should tell people to wear masks.
But in what’s been dubbed the “Caprice effect” she was proven to be talking more sense than government advisers.

Caprice, 49, says: “All I did was look at other countries that were keeping the virus under control such as Taiwan and Singapore – what were they doing? I think it’s common sense.
“But I got completely annihilated. I don’t envy Boris but I think there have been some bad decisions made.
“And no-one is communicating, which is more frustrating than anything.
“They are making these decisions and not telling us why. Things like the 10pm curfew don’t make sense – why did you do that?
“Everyone just went back to people’s houses. Wouldn’t it make more sense to keep restaurants open because they have to adhere to restrictions or face fines and shutdowns?

“I feel like they keep on throwing sh*t against the wall and try to figure out what is going to stick.”
So after predicting the future back in March, what does Caprice think will happen next? “I do think we’re going to be on house arrest for longer than the next month,” she says. “I knew we were going into lockdown, I just wish they’d done it earlier.
“The problem is they are reacting too slowly to everything and it’s impacting so much economically.
”But this is the card we’ve been dealt so we just have to get on with it, put a smile on our faces, clean out our houses again and think of new things to do.”
One bright spot is the blonde’s homeware collection By Caprice – seen here in our pictures – which has enjoyed booming sales.
She says: “It’s a scary time right now but we’ve been doing exceptionally well.
“During lockdown it was one of our biggest and best seasons – I suppose everyone is at home, they want to make a change, so the first thing is the bedroom.”
Caprice is also starring in two upcoming Christmas films. The Gift, in which she sings, airs on Amazon Prime later this month. The other, Christmas In The Castle, is for the Lifetime channel in the States.
She was attracted to these “feel-good” projects after a troubled stint on Dancing On Ice this year, where she left the show after splitting with dance partner Hamish Gaman, left, saying their relationship was “unworkable”.
“I don’t want to do any more toxic TV,” says Caprice. “We have enough toxicity in this world. I only want to make people feel good.
“The Gift is really great for the kids, they will love it. I play the good fairy Kate and I’m singing in it, there’s dancing, it’s almost like a panto.

“It’s about these two little girls who have lost their father and they need to find a very special gift for their mum.
“I was rusty around the edges singing though. Let’s put it this way – we had to do about 50 takes.”
Her luxury holiday home in Ibiza will also be seen on an upcoming episode of Cribs, the series in which celebs show viewers around their houses.
She laughs: “I love that show! We filmed in the summer and I was in a bikini at almost 50! You get to know someone a bit more when you see where they live – it’s their style and personality.”
The star also deleted her Twitter account after being trolled in the wake of Dancing On Ice, and she has no intention of reviving it.
“I just don’t want to give those trolls a platform any more,” she says. “I don’t want to support Twitter so I’m not going to be activating my account any time soon.
“I don’t see why they haven’t done anything about trolling. I think it’s irresponsible, it really affects people’s mental health.
“The world is full of hate. It is a scary place and, right now, it’s all about kindness and positivity.”
