“From this weekend, we will allow single adult households, living alone, or single parents with children under 18, to form a support bubble with one other household.”
Earlier today (June 11), Dr Hilary cleared up confusion regarding grandparents seeing their grandchildren to Lorraine viewers.
He said: “Grandparents who are living together, they can’t as there’s two of them.
“But if there’s one of them, they can go and visit their grandchildren. But if they have other grandchildren elsewhere, they can only choose one.”
Meanwhile, he added: “Couples who’ve been living apart can go and have sex in their support bubbles.”
