through what she feels was Mike's celestial intervention. In an intimate confession on the My Time Capsule podcast back in 2022, Greene recalled loving memories of Smith, hinting at his

influence from beyond: "I sort of know Mike is pulling so many strings in my life." She elaborated: "He has undoubtedly been responsible for me meeting my beloved who was one

of his oldest friends, who waited a certain amount of time but did keep leaving messages on the answering machine. I thought he was just being kind". Article continues below And

continuing, she explained when the truth hit her, saying: "Then I got a message almost saying 'For God's sake, Greeno, Robb is trying to make contact with you because he

actually wants to take you out, not because he's kind. So will you just get off your arse and go and answer the phone next time it rings!' "And lo and behold, a whole new

conversation started. I'm sure, and Robb is very sure too, because it's a very strange situation." She detailed how she was worried about the relationship in the early days:

"I remember being terribly worried and saying to the dear man who I'd known for all these years, 'Isn't it strange coming into the house and seeing all these pictures

everywhere of Mike?'" "He said, 'No, no, it's not strange. It'd be strange if they weren't there. And remember, I love him too.'" Article

face than I do. You can read my face from a mile off. But I have to remind myself I'm pretending to be Richard Osman on Pointless. That's the acting skill coming in." Back in

2017, Sarah presented This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield, covering for Holly Willoughby, in a throwback to their children's TV days together. She returned the same year to present

alongside Rylan Clark. READ MORE: 'I made one change to my meals and lost weight, felt fuller and cut down my caffeine'
