Harry, 71, added that after 51 years of marriage he has never come close to leaving Sandra.

He also revealed that their arguments never last longer than 10 minutes!

“We’ve never had that so I couldn’t be an expert on that. We’ve never ever ever looked like splitting up. If we have an argument it doesn’t last 10 minutes,” he explained.

The football coach added: “We don’t argue and carry it on for a couple of days. You couldn’t have a row with Sandra even if you tried.”

Sandra and Harry are childhood sweethearts. They met when they were both 17 and they married four years later in 1967.

Harry admitted he couldn’t live without his wife during his time on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! last year.

Meanwhile, Sandra admitted that she is finding his recent boost in fame difficult to deal with following his win.

Harry said on GMB: “I went shopping, I popped into Marks & Spencer, everyone I see… every lady is coming up to me saying ‘Harry, what you shopping for, a jam roly poly?’ It’s great.”

Asked about her husband’s popularity, Sandra said: “I’ve found it quite hard, being in the limelight more.”

She added: “But I’ve been really proud of him.”
