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.

Dec is estimated to be worth an impressive £31.1million, according to the Express. As well as his extensive presenting portfolio, Dec also co-owns production company Mitre Television with Ant, which produces the shows they work on.
