Ben Shephard is one doting husband! The Good Morning Britain anchor has taken to his Instagram page to share a rare snap of his wife Annie Perks holding a large bouquet of flowers, which he had kindly surprised her with. In the caption, he gushed: "You know you've nailed it when @mrsannieshephard accessorises her outfit to the flowers you got her (well, I say I got them but to be fair I nicked from my @itvtippingpoint dressing room, so thanks to the production team - good husband points for me)."

"For as long as I can remember, I know she wanted a ring. The big day, the big dress, the big party. And she was right, it was the best ever thing." He added: "For as long as I can remember. I wanted someone to call me dad. To play and chase a football with. To take to see West Ham wouldn't be bad." Watch the video above to hear the full poem.
