Sunetra has previously admitted that she and husband Scott live “happily apart” despite tying the knot five years ago.
The couple, who have known each other since 1991, made a decision to live apart because they both had children from previous relationships.
She explained during an episode of Loose Women that she didn’t want to have to uproot their kids’ lives or make them switch schools if they moved in together.

“Then the thought of us not living together was so weird.”
“What happens is, Scott is with his kids for one week, then joins me and Noah here.
“In our school breaks, we become a five and we all go to them or they’ll come to us. Holidays are fabulous because it’s such a rare thing to be together again.”

The TV star opened up on her bridal dress drama on Loose Women last year.
Speaking to her co-stars, the actress revealed her friend’s brutal honesty which came as a shock so close to her big day.
Sunetra said: “I was in this wedding dress shop and I’d tried a few on and I thought, ‘This is the one’ and I put a deposit down.”
She invited her friend to come along because she was: “Ready to show off.”
However, on seeing the dress, her friend said: “As long as you like it that’s all that matters” and added: “It doesn’t matter what I think!”
Sunetra recounted: “She’s clearly trying to be diplomatic but all I can hear is, ‘You hate it, you hate it, you hate it. You hate me! You hate everything about the dress!”

She is a believer in the unknown and even had a close encounter of her own while filming a show for Channel 4.

She recalled how the show was being filmed in a “disused psychiatric asylum.”.
The star said: “As two of the cast members were filming a scene on a bed, Kaye Wragg stopped for a makeup check and everyone heard it, two voices saying ‘Get out! Get out!’. We were all petrified.”
