STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has spoken about the emotional and physical toll of his wife's battle with a cruel and painful condition she has suffered for years.
The BBC star tied the knot with marketing executive Hannah Summers in 2017, after the pair met at Wentworth Golf Club in Surrey in 2012.
Shortly after their wedding, they welcomed twins George and Henrietta, a joy that was made possible through IVF treatment.
In a moving interview on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, Anton, 59, revealed how tough their journey to become parents had been, particularly due to Hannah's long health battle.
Cruel
"I knew I wanted to be with her," Anton said, recalling how he first fell in love with Hannah after watching her interact with her nephews.
