Who is Caroline Quentin’s husband?

She then met her second husband Sam Farmer in 1998 when he was a runner on the set of Men Behaving badly.
Caroline revealed how they met to Woman & Home magazine, saying : "I didn’t believe in love at first sight until the moment I saw Sam in a car park in Worthing 14 years ago.”
The couple married in 2006 and now have two children together, Emily and William.
Sam is a stay-at-home parent, with Caroline previously telling MailOnline: "We’ve swapped roles in the sense that Sam stays at home and runs the house – it’s just the way it works for us."
Sam said: "Being a stay-at-home dad is liberating. I have a good relationship with Emily and William, and they get a male perspective.”
