Speaking about his wife, Dec told Express.co.uk: “We always hung out. When she was single and I was single we’d go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day together.
“Last year we went out as a couple. It was a little strange because we’ve had a working relationship for so long.”

Dec opened up about becoming dad in his and Ant’s book ‘Once Upon a Tyne’, revealing: “Becoming a dad has completely transformed me.
“At first, like all expectant parents, I didn’t truly understand how much it was going to change me. I just thought it was another little person coming to live in the house… It opened up a whole other side to me, a side I didn’t know existed.”
