Michael Howard's wife: 'My big ambition is to keep him out of the house'

Scientists studying the effects of retirement have said that when married couples finally get to spend some quality time together, it raises the wives' stress levels.

Sandra Howard, the wife of former Conservative party leader, Michael Howard, agrees with the study. She said that as much as "she loves him", she would "much rather he wasn't" in the house.

The report was authored by Dr Marco Bertoni and Dr Giorgio Brunello from the University of Padova, who looked at interviews with 840 Japanese women between 2008 and 2013.
