Captioning the post, he confirmed he is still "single". He wrote: "Great day on set with @clogaugold ... these guys treat me well, a wedding and a family (inc a dog) all in one day. 

"Spoiler: I didn’t *actually* get married in secret and yes, I’m still single!"

The presenter has kept his personal life private

In 2014, the classical singer revealed it was the TV presenter who called off their engagement. Speaking candidly in the BBC's documentary Being Katherine Jenkins, Katherine shared: "At the end of 2011, when Gethin and I broke up, the reality of it was that, about two weeks later, I had to go on a UK tour where every night I'm singing songs of heartbreak."

The pair had been engaged for ten months and had reportedly bought a house together. She added: "Every day just trying to find the energy to cope - let alone going on stage and understand his reason for doing it.

"Meanwhile, everybody else is under the impression it was my decision, my ambition – I wanted to take over the world. It was so far from the truth." After their split, Gethin went on to date Lucy Mecklenburgh and model Katja Zwara.
