Philippa, however told the publication she sees her husband’s fame as a positive.
“Actually, being with Grayson’s been quite helpful, because I do think of us as equals and so I think, ‘If he can do that, maybe I can do that.’ So that’s helpful.
“And of course him going, ‘You can do it, you’re cleverer than I am, do it,’ that’s helpful, too.”
