Abby and Ben share twin daughters Harriette and Isabelle, 12, while Ben welcomed a third child, Mia, in 2016.

Abby has been vocal about the betrayal she went through with Ben.
Having split from him in 2014, she told The Sun On Sunday a year later: ‘My husband, who I was with for 23 years, unconditionally loved and was completely loyal to in every respect, has left me for a f**king Russian dancer.
‘The last two years have been the most traumatic thing to ever happen to me. He’s done the dirty on me. I want people to know.
‘I don’t want to cause stress or further damage by stirring things up. But I’m just trying to recover from what has been the most horrific time of my life.’
State of affairs: Ben left Abby for his dancing partner Kristina Rihanoff

When Ben split from Abby, he and Kristina denied that they had had an affair, despite being pictured with their arms around one another on the London Underground.
During the summer of 2015 they went to Turkey together but tried to hide this – even taking separate flights to the Turkish resort of Antalya.
Abby told The Sun last year, ahead of appearing on a series with Ant McPartlin’s jilted ex-wife Lisa Armstrong: ‘I know from personal experience what it’s like to hit rock bottom and it’s devastating. With wonderful family and friends I’ve built myself back up.

‘I’m not healed, I’ll never get over it but you just have to, I spent four years moping around crying – it’s poisonous.
‘I don’t think I’m ever going to get over it. But I’m taking a new path.’
The new path has evidently led to David.
