In September 2020, the COVID pandemic was still raging. It had stopped many things in their paths, including Little's romantic life with his partner.
While talking to Daily Star (via Mirror) in September 2020, he complained about intimacy in his life, or a lack thereof.
At the time, his future wife, Ferrentino, was in Florida, where she had gone when the pandemic began. And she was stuck there.
Americans had travel restrictions, so she could not go see her partner at work. He was in the Caribbean filming the BBC One show, Death in Paradise.

When this interview was taken, Little had not seen his to-be wife for over four months.
He admitted to feeling like a 14-year-old again. Not in a good way, mind you.
He was complaining about not having had sex in those four months. He also referred to the state of his hand which had suffered from the separation.
"Remember when you were 14 and you were like, 'Maybe, one day, I'll be able to touch a girl, but until then it's me and you lefty!" he quipped.
It wasn't just his sex life that was suffering, though. The prospect of him making her his wife soon had also gotten uncertain.
During an episode of The One Show in January 2021, he said that their wedding plans had also been put on hold.
Ferrentino came up with an idea to get married in Guadeloupe. He was already filming the show there, so he did not have to travel that way.
But when the time to travel came, she could not get to Guadeloupe.
Not all was bad for the actor, though.
Having grown up in Manchester, UK, he got to spend time in the sun in the Caribbean, and then later in Florida with his partner, when the restrictions loosened up.
