"Going out for dinner with Mrs MSE tonight, in a lovely pub garden," he tweeted. "Very exciting. Our first for months (we stayed home this weekend, preferred to save it for a quieter evening). Time for dinner, crosswords (same books, who can fill the most in) and each other's company."

During a recent new interview with the Guardian, Martin opened up about his and his wife's money spending habits. "I'm not tight at all. Lara is the tight one in the family. Everyone thinks it's me," he shared.

"She's much more worried about spending money than I am. My whole shtick is to maximise happiness with your money. Having money is not happiness, but not having money is sadness and destroys lives."
