Back in 2015, the star told The Telegraph of the French town: “It has a unique atmosphere, a joie de vivre, particularly in the summer months, that is infectious.”

She added: “I’ve had a house there for 25 years and regularly spend three or four months there annually. The town is constantly changing – there are always new restaurants, clubs and shops to explore.”

When they’re not hot footing it to sunnier climes, the couple typically reside at Joan’s charming Belgravia flat which she’s owned for more than 30 years. Reflecting on her home, she told Publishing Business: “I looked at about 60 flats in London. I wanted to be near the West End and the theatres, and near to Chelsea. I love Belgravia, it’s wonderfully quiet.”

Percy and Joan’s love story

The couple tied the knot in 2002 after first crossing paths in 2000 when Joan starred in the play, Love Letters.

Reflecting on their marriage, Joan previously told HELLO!: “Percy is wonderful; he’s my soul mate. That doesn’t mean we don’t bicker, but we are very understanding of each other.”

Despite their age gap, the couple firmly believe that age is just a number. In conversation with Louis Theroux, the actress explained: “I believe in marriage — which is why I’ve done it five times — and I finally have a wonderful marriage.”
