Robert on life with wife Abigail
Last year, Robert revealed that he and his wife fight like any other married couple when asked what it was like being married to a fellow comedian.
He told Lifestyle Daily: “Like any other couple, we fight, but probably using slightly more stupid voices. We’re not really competitive with each other”.
Robert added:
There’s a disparity between who’s had a break when. I had a massive break with Peep Show in 2003 but it hasn’t really happened for Abi in quite the same way. She’s very successful compared with most actors and writers in that she makes a living, but she hasn’t had the ludicrous good fortune that I have.
