Repatriating to UK with expired driving license

Hi,

Our plans of relocating is ongoing and that brings lots of questions with it.
My wife's UK driving license expired years ago and it seems to be a problem when it comes to motor insurance.
As far as I researched she'll have to drive on her UAE driving license for a year then once she gets her resident status back she can apply for her UK license.
Mother in law told me that the motor insurance will cost a fortune under those circumstances.
I've spoken to a couple of insurance companies and they said it's possible but they didn't want to give even a ball park figure.
Has anyone been in this situation before and is there a way around it? If not a ball park figure would be great just to see roughly what the damage will be.

Many thanks
