Anita Rani and Andrea McLean are two very lucky women! The pair were chatting about the importance of kindness at the HELLO! Star Women Awards last week, and their thoughts soon turned to their husbands.
Talking to host Gaby Roslin, Anita said: "My husband is a very kind man. Obviously, he is very handsome and he is dead fit and all the rest of it, but kindness is a virtue that is often overlooked." The Countryfile presenter continued: "I think it should be something that you live by every single day. Are you that person who chooses to give your seat up on the bus or the tube? If you choose to live like that, people will be kind to you."

Andrea then turned to Anita, and told her: "We are clearly married to the same man! I know exactly what you mean. I think it's such an underrated quality. I have said to people before not to mistake my kindness for weakness. You can still have an incredible amount of strength, but do it with love and kindness."

Reflecting on the awards ceremony, Andrea continued: "I think today summed it all up. There were some really strong women in there, but at the absolute core was their kindness." Vouching for Andrea's husband, Gaby then added: "I can actually vouch that [Andrea's] husband is very kind. I was at a party and he walked me to find a taxi because I was all on my own in the middle of the East End, but he wouldn't let me. He's a very kind man."
