Grant is a former AA patrolman and he now runs an organic farm.
Julie gushed over her man to Female First.
She said: “I have a lot to thank him for.
“I know there were tears in his eyes when I won my lifetime BAFTA award in 2014 because he’s a big softie. His support over the years has been everything to me.”
Did she have cancer?
Julie battled Stage III bowel cancer in 2018.
She did not reveal her diagnosis publicly until 2020 and said she would be taking a break from acting.
But she changed her mind, and towards the end of her year agreed to reprise her role of Rosie in Mamma Mia 3!
She explained to Victoria Derbyshire last year that she feared she wouldn’t wake up from anaesthetic after undergoing surgery.
Yet she felt ‘absolutely marvellous’ upon waking up.
She continued: “I said to the night nurse, ‘Is Love Island on?’ – because we were talking about it – and we watched it together.
“It was only a couple of days later I thought, I feel exhausted, and a bit low actually.”
Finally, she confirmed she’d been given the all-clear and was now cancer free.
Meanwhile her daughter Maisie battled lymphoblastic leukaemia as a child. But was given the all-clear when she was six.

According to CelebrityNetWorth Julie Walter’s net worth is in the region of $2 million (£1.4 million). However we suspect this amount could easily be much higher!
