With her busy career keeping her away from the family home a lot of the time, Katherine reflected on having to make the happy adjustment of seeing her filmmaker husband night after night.
She said: ‘It felt quite full on. I haven’t spent that many consecutive nights in the same house with my husband, so that was lovely.
‘I was always away or he was away filming. We had to learn to live in the same house.’
Katherine also shared fellow guest Daniel Mays’ thoughts on home-schooling being tough, with the actor remarking that he ‘didn’t know if I was coming or going’.

The singer shared: ‘I’ve got a 2 and a 5-year-old. A little bit of home-schooling – I feel your pain on that [Daniel].’
Meanwhile, Katherine opened up about being directed by her husband in upcoming World War Two film Minamata.
She said of Andrew: ‘He really wanted me to do the role. I don’t consider myself as an actress. To be in a scene with Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy – I actually said no a few times.
‘Eventually I gave in. It’s an amazing story about corporate greed and standing up for the small people. I said, “These are the only few days of your life you get to boss me around”.’

She continued: ‘It was really nice to work with my husband. It’s a very different process. When we perform, it’s an instant reaction and you go home. With filming it takes so much longer and so long before everyone sees the results. I guess you have to be more patient.’
Katherine and Andrew began dating on 2013, before trying the knot at Hampton Court Palace in September 2014.
They’ve since welcomed daughter Aaliyah, five, and two-year-old Xander.
The opera sensation has previously spoken about the impact that her and her husband being at home a lot has had on her kids.

Speaking on Loose Women in July, she said: ‘I think the kids have really thrived having us both there and so we take the positive of that, but it’s actually been really special to get this time together.’
Katherine went to sweetly say how much her children has changed her life, adding that they’ve made her a ‘better version’ of herself.
She said: ‘Becoming a wife, I love being a mum, it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
‘Being a mum has made me a lot more patient, more sure of myself and my choices, it’s made me realise my priorities in life. So I think it’s just made me a better version of myself.’
The Jonathan Ross Show airs Saturday at 10pm on ITV.
