GMB host Ben Shephard is a doting husband to his wife Annie, and on Monday, the TV star penned the sweetest tribute.
Taking to Instagram, the father-of-two penned a lengthy message alongside a wholesome photo of the presenter glancing proudly at his wife.
In honour of her latest garden design award, Ben, 48, proudly shared: "#Proud husband post! Thanks to @gingerhorticulture for capturing this moment @annieshepharddesign being announced as the recipient of the Judges Prize from @londoncollegegardendesign thanks to @jothompsongarden."

Other than Deliveroo [whose] profits will now slump significantly!!"
Annie's award is testament to the mother-of-two's persistent hard work. Aside from gardening, the keen creative is a successful interior designer who has worked with the likes of House and Garden, Glamour and Elle Decor.
Fans and friends raced to heap praise on Annie, with one writing: "Just so delighted for Annie! Incredible achievement – I've only had a teeny tiny glimpse into what she’s done but what a woman!!!" while another simply penned: "Congratulations Annie! What a glorious photo."
A third remarked: "Oh love this, such a cute picture," and a fourth added: "No wonder, you look so happy and proud of your beautiful wife."
Ben has been married to Annie since 2004. The couple, who first crossed paths in their twenties, went on to tie the knot on a private island off the coast of Devon.

"She has been through all this with me - the highs and the lows of all that experience. And she is still here, somehow is still putting up with me which to this day, I can't quite believe that I am extraordinarily lucky."
