“A while back, I didn’t work for 10 months, and I thought the bubble had burst.
“I thought, ‘I’m 50, maybe it’s all over’. In the current climate, if there’s work I feel lucky to have a sniff of it.”
The actress went on to say how she has become well known for playing motherly roles.
“I’m very aware that I’ve cornered the market in working mum roles for the past 10 years.
Caroline added: “Around 50 seems to be a critical time. Maybe it’s then that you realise that life is shorter than you once thought, and there are things you feel you’ve missed out on.
“But having been through a divorce once myself, I know that it is the most awful, unhappy time that a person can possibly go through.
“And I also know that the grass is only as green as you make it. For me, a future without Sam in it is just something that never, ever crosses my mind.
“I always joke with him that he’s never getting away from me. I’m dim but I’m not stupid.”
