Joanna Page, best known for her role in Gavin and Stacey, has revealed that her husband, actor James Thornton, was moved to tears after reading her new autobiography. The Welsh star appeared on James Martin's Saturday Morning to discuss her book, Lush: My Story - From Swansea to Stacey and Everything in Between.
Page, who has four children with Thornton, said she was determined to be 'brutally honest' in her first book. 'I'm raw, I'm honest, I don't pull any punches, and there were many times where I just thought, pull it, I can't, it's too personal,' she explained. 'And then you know what, stuff it, I'm going to write it, I'm shoving everything into it.'
The actress recalled the moment she gave copies of the book to her family. 'My husband said to me, Am I in it? And I said, Oh yes, just you wait and see, I have got a whole chapter dedicated to conceiving our last baby,' she said. 'When I get to the bit where it says Thank you to my family and I start writing about him and the fact he got me through writing it... he was crying as he was reading it, it was lovely.'
In a separate interview with The Mirror, Page credited her husband for their enduring marriage, saying, 'He makes me laugh and I love his personality. We have the same views and ideas of how we want to live our lives. We love being together all the time. But you don't get through 25 years without ups and downs.'
