" Lisa Maxwell has revealed how her relationship with sculptor Paul Jessup almost ended after two miscarriages in 2008. The Loose Women star explained that her long-time romance with Jessup was tested after she focused more on her role in The Bill than her home life. &amp;quot;The work ethic at The Bill was \u00C2\u00ADridiculous,&amp;quot; she told The Mirror. &amp;quot;Show first, everything else second. When I had the second miscarriage I realised I had my priorities wrong. I&amp;#039;d lost the plot. I had lost sight of what was important. &amp;quot;I know Paul felt shut out too. He told me it was \u00C2\u00ADdestructive, and that my reaction was unhealthy. He said I needed to take time out to think about what I wanted to do. &amp;quot;Our relationship was rocky. We needed to regroup and I realised then it was time for me to jack in the job and come home.&amp;quot; Maxwell added that leaving The Bill and joining Loose Women helped save their relationship and allowed her to spend more time with daughter Beau. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not as ambitious as I was,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I like acting, but I love doing Loose Women, I&amp;#039;ve got lots of different hats on. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ve got to make it work. I can&amp;#039;t just pack a bag and bugger off. I&amp;#039;ve got responsibilities. I love the fact my daughter now takes me for granted. I&amp;#039;m like a normal mum.&amp;quot; Lisa Maxwell became engaged to Paul Jessup earlier this year after 15 years together. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
