Key Points
  • Miriam Margolyes announces plans to live with long-term partner Heather Sutherland after years apart
  • Their careers kept them apart, but age has motivated them to be together
  • Brexit travel rules complicate their plans, potentially requiring residency changes

According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Miriam Margolyes described that she now wants to be with her partner and live together, confirming they are definitely going to do so. Their careers previously kept them apart, with Sutherland working as a professor at a university, teaching and writing, while Margolyes is an actress and now makes television programmes as a documentary maker. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Margolyes described that they are old and won't have much longer, so it's important to be together to relish the joy of each other's company.

Margolyes expressed affectionate praise for Sutherland, stating she has never grown tired of her partner. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, she described Sutherland as overwhelmingly glorious and loveable, and much cleverer than her, which she thinks is important, adding that she doesn't want to be the clever one. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Margolyes also described that she has never thought Sutherland wasn't sufficient, and that she is more than sufficient.

I believe that but now I want to be with her, now I want us to live together.

Brexit-related travel complications are affecting their plans, as Margolyes revealed last year that she had begun spending more time in Italy but must come home every so often because of travel rules. Since Brexit, UK residents can stay in certain European countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a residence permit. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Margolyes described that she is thinking she might have to become Dutch, with Sutherland having residency in Europe because she's lived in Amsterdam for over 50 years.

Margolyes is back on screens tonight for her new BBC show, part of a project that initially started as a podcast idea but ended up as a documentary.

We are definitely going to. We were both very involved with our careers, we were both professional women, she was a professor at a university, teaching and writing and I was an actress and now I make television programmes, as a documentary maker.
