When thinking of nature and outdoor programmes, it's hard not to think of Kate Humble, who has been a regular on our TV screens since the early 2000s.
The presenter and wildlife expert can often be found next to her close friend and fellow broadcaster, Ben Fogle, but her husband is also an expert in the TV world having appeared on major shows like Escape to the Farm, Winterwatch and Lambing Live.
But Ben isn't the most important man in Kate's life as she's been married to her husband, Ludo Graham, for over three decades. Get to know Kate's husband here…
Kate's famous husband
Ludo is a successful TV producer and director and the star married Kate in 1992. The pair reportedly met in 1985 when Kate was getting her first experience in the television world as a junior runner.
Similar to his wife, Ludo has enjoyed success throughout his career and has acted as executive producer on a number of shows such as BBC's Rivers with Griff Rhys Jones, Museum of Life and Paddington Green.

Decision against having children

The couple's farm
In 2007, the pair moved to Monmouthshire, Wales, and the star credited her husband for the move following him getting a job offer in the region. Speaking to the Sunday Post, she shared: "Every time we drove west over the Severn Bridge and the border, my heart lifted and I just thought: 'This is it'. I’d felt un-at-home in London for a very long time. I was never very good at living in a city. It was great fun, initially it’s exciting and there's everything there, apart from the things that make me feel at home."

We were doing our day jobs while getting it up and running, with no knowledge or experience. We constantly asked ourselves, 'Are we making a terrible mistake?' But now we are living the dream."
Comments on marriage
Given the couple both work in the television industry, it's perhaps unsurprising that the two decided to work together on Escape to the Farm. Kate opened up to HELLO! about what it was like working with her hubby, who helped film their show in 2020.

The star previously said of her husband: "Having a partner gives you a level of security in your life that makes a huge difference. It makes you less self-obsessed because you don't have time – you have to make them breakfast!"
