Emilia, daughter of The Day of the Jackal film star Edward Fox, said: “Jonathan asks me to marry him every single day, but we’re not officially married.

And Emilia, who has 14-year-old daughter Rose with former partner Jeremy Gilley, told Woman & Home magazine she has a new lease of life after turning 50. She celebrated the landmark birthday back in July.

The star said: “I’ve had a great time in the first half, but Rose is now a teenager and I’ve packed a lot into trying to get that balance right with work and Rose.

“I think in my 50s there could be some fun! My actual birthday was quiet because I’d been filming until 4am.
