Ben Shephard has paid tribute to his wife Annie to mark their 15th wedding anniversary.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 44, shared a collage of photos of himself and Annie to Instagram on Monday alongside a sweet message.
Ben revealed it took him nine years to pop the question to Annie and admitted he’s “not quite sure how I managed to persuade her to put up with me”.

He wrote: “So 15 years ago today I had finally got my arse into gear and managed to marry @mrsannieshephard.
“It had only taken me 9 years to ask her (you can’t rush these things!).
“I’m still not sure quite how I managed to persuade her to put up with me, but I’m very glad that I did, and she still hasn’t worked out that there’s far better options out there!!!
“Until then I’ll continue to enjoy and make the most every moment (well most of them…) Thanks Annie here’s to another 15 years of mostly wedded bliss.”
Ben’s followers congratulated the couple on the milestone, including many of his celebrity pals.
The X Factor host Dermot O’Leary commented: “To this day her choice baffles me… big love buddy.”
Former Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley wrote: “Congratulations Guys!”
Singer Kimberley Walsh added: “She’s pretty blooming special! But you are too. Congrats both of you.”
Ben and Annie have two sons – Jack, 13, and Sam, 12.
Last month, Ben delighted fans by sharing a sweet photo of Annie and their boys on holiday.
