Sunday with Alice Roberts: ‘I’ve trained my children to bring me tea in bed’

Sunday lie-in? Definitely. I’m such a night owl. I’ve trained my children, who are 10 and 13, to bring me and my husband cups of tea in bed and I usually lie-in listening to podcasts or the radio until about 9.30am, which seems like a humane time to get out of bed on a Sunday.

First thing you do? I will make little fluffy American pancakes for my children, in my pyjamas. We eat them with maple syrup and whatever fruit we’ve got.
