She added: ‘We’ve been cooking something other than banana bread & sourdough over the past few months and it’s over half way cooked now but it’s a slow cook one so still needs another few months yet.
‘Only prob is between the PE teacher and the painter and the gardener and the baker during lockdown I might not be entiiiiiiirely sure who the Dad is.’
Amy went on to joke: ‘Was starting to get looks from people as I was leaving the shops with a mask on and what looked like merch stuffed up my top on the rob.’
