  Hello, it's me, Lauren Laverne, and this is Desert Island Discs Postcards,

  your hand-picked selection of unforgettable moments from some of our favourite castaways.

  This postcard comes from the novelist Jilly Cooper,

  the author of Rivals, which was adapted to TV last year.

  Back in 2016, Jilly told Kirsty Young her theory on what makes a successful marriage.

• 00:36

  Well, luck being married to a very nice man.

• 00:42

  creaking bed springs.

• 00:44

  And I've said the bed springs are creaking because of hysterical laughter.

• 00:48

  And we did laugh about an awful lot of things together, which was lovely.

  I remember the Daily Mail ringing up and saying, what does Gillie wear in bed?

  It's all right.

• 01:12

  And is it true that Leo never read your books?

• 01:15

  No, he did.

  He read Prudence once when he had flu and said it made him feel worse.

• 01:19

  I think he did.
