Ben often posts sweet tributes to Kate and Friday was no different as he admitted he is continually "surprised and delighted" by her positive attitude.

Kate has had to deal with more than just her husband's ill health this month after she revealed her family car was stolen.
Speaking on GMB opposite Ben, the presenter described the people carrier as 'Vicky Volvo', a car that had been in her family for many years.

Ben added: "The car was full of love. I was devastated for you. The car was stolen, which we were all furious and frustrated and angry about."
But rather than dwell on the bad, the pair went on to share the many messages that Kate had received following the incident – with countless viewers even offering to loan their own cars to her.
She revealed it had been a difficult time for her husband Derek - who remains unwell in hospital – telling viewers: "It's kind of been a tough old week for Derek so I haven't got back to anybody and I haven't sorted it out yet but it's just so lovely. And some viewers are offering to lend me their cars."
