Britain’s favourite sitcom, Not Going Out, is well into its 14th series. Created, written by and starring Lee Mack as a fictional version of himself, it holds the title of the UK’s longest-running sitcom currently on air.
Roundly praised as among the funniest people working in telly right now, Lee delighted fans this week when it was announced that The 1% Club is going from Saturday nights to a supersized five-day primetime event called The 1% Club Rollover.
It’ll air this autumn. But before that, we’ve got a very important question to address about Lee and his Not Going Out co-star Sally Bretton. With such electric chemistry on screen, are they married in real life?

Are Lee Mack and Sally Bretton married in real life?
The short answer is no: Lee Mack and his on-screen wife Lucy (played by Sally Bretton) are both happily married to real, off screen spouses – not to each other.
On screen, Lee and Lucy Adams tied the knot in the Christmas special of Not Going Out series 7. Lee and Lucy now live in Walton-on-Thames, in Surrey – which, funnily enough, is just a stone’s throw from real-life Lee’s home in the village of East Molesey.
Now, of course, they’re in their countryside era.
Lee’s real-life wife is Tara Savage. They met at Brunel University in 1996, married in 2005, and have three kids together.
Their eldest son, Arlo, appeared in the 2013 Christmas special of Not Going Out. Daughter Millie graced the stage in series 12.
Meanwhile, Sally Bretton is happily married to a photographer named… Lee. That’s right, there’s a third Lee in the equation.
