Speaking about the longevity of their marriage, the actor told Leicestershire Live in 2018: “We were bezzie mates. Which is the best way, isn’t it? After a while, we just thought: this is daft, do you know what I mean? We like each other, we should get together.”

Back in 2020, Stephen heaped praise on his other half as he revealed that his struggle with dyslexia has meant Hannah has had to help pick his roles.
“I’m dyslexic, so I struggle,” he said at the BAFTA Sessions panel. “My missus actually reads the script and says whether or not I’m doing it. She’s made some good choices. I have to read it and read it and read it, then make it look like it’s the first time I’m saying it.”
The couple are proud parents to their children Grace and Alfie. Adolescence dominates Netflix The drama, which continues to dominate Netflix’s trending charts, took months of preparation and rehearsals so that each episode could be filmed in one continuous shot, which was praised by viewers of the show.

The results make it Netflix’s most viewed series in the UK in a single week, as its first and second episode, which got 5.9 million viewers, beat the likes of BBC’s The Apprentice and Death In Paradise and ITV’s The Bay.
