“One minute I want a great big wedding, the next minute I think we could just go somewhere really easy. I'm very indecisive.
"But at some point, I do think we’ll get our close family together at a lovely place in London, go to a restaurant and have a big party afterwards.
"Ten years would be a brilliant time to do it. Either ten years together or ten years engaged."
She added of having kids around: "You need to make time for romance. If it slips and we think we haven't done anything nice for a month, we do bring it up. He's better than me actually. He’ll bring it up more.
"We both fancy the pants off each other still, which is a good thing."
