But after rumours began to swirl that there was a rift betwen the pair, David, who is appearing on The Repair Shop spinoff, David & Jay’s Touring Toolshed ,addressed the matter. He said: “He’s much more – how can I say? – self-contained, perhaps, than he used to be.
“So, unfortunately, we don’t see each other as much as I would like to. But that’s how things work out sometimes,” the actor confessed.
