TV presenter Ben Shephard, 46, is well known to the nation for his roles on ITV's Good Morning Britain and Tipping Point but his life off the screen is just as interesting as his programmes.

The star - who become po[CENSORED]r with viewers for his charming broadcasting style - commits fully to everything he does both professionally and romantically, which is one of the reasons his amazing marriage has stood the test of time.

Ben has been married to Annie who boasts an impressive career in her own right, for 17 years.

While Ben is well known in the public eye, his wife tends to stay out of the spotlight.

The pair have been together for more than 20 years and began dating in 1995 before marrying in 2004.

The couple share two sons, teenagers Jack and Sam reports the LiverpoolEcho.

Annie's Instagram profile is private but Ben regularly offers insight into their family life together.

On their 2020 wedding anniversary, Ben penned: "Can't quite believe another year has gone past, suddenly this one feels all the more poignant because of what’s happening.

"16 years married to @mrsannieshephard 25 years together and it's fair to say the current climate is seriously testing the strength of her feelings towards me."

The family are often pictured out walking or running together.

In addition to their busy family life, Annie shares a passion for interiors and runs the blog The House Editor.

Before having children with Ben, Annie's career was in fashion and interior magazines. She worked for House and Garden, Glamour, Elle Deco, Elle and Red.

On her website, she writes: "For the last fifteen years I’ve been raising our boys, knocking down and remodelling houses, building gardens out of mud-pits and running interiors projects.

"I've studied hard and taken excellent courses, so I’ve learned both the theory of design and I’ve also learned the hard way, by creating from the ground up, wellies on and spade in hand.

"After a few mistakes and a few more successes, my friends started to ask for help with their own interiors and gardens."

Annie helps people to "create stylish, meaningful interiors and gardens that tell their story."

Tipping Point continues to air each and every weekday from 4pm on ITV 1 and also the ITV Hub.
