The actor, best known for playing Rizzo in *Grease*, reflected on the move in the context of the death of her longtime partner, producer Daniel Gilham, and her preference for a quieter life.

Channing moved to London shortly before the Covid-19 pandemic, having considered relocating after Gilham died in 2014. She had been with him for 25 years and has lived alone since his death, according to the article.
