During a chat with close friend Kate Thornton on her podcast White Wine Question Time, Ben opened up about the early days of their relationship and meeting Annie when they were both students at the University of Birmingham. "We met at university - so you knew Annie when I just got into the telly - and I was sort of a mere puppy when it came to the world of broadcasting media," he explained.
"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."
