When a random couple were stopped in the street by a camera crew, they dropped a surprising bombshell.

It wasn't the first time the pair had been filmed – because they'd appeared on Blind Date 33 years earlier. In a sweet clip, Sue and Alex Tatham spoke about how they met.

The pair seem to be just as smitten with each other at 59-years-old. Alex warmed the hearts of YouTube viewers by telling the stranger: "We met on television. We met on a TV gameshow... called Blind Date. You can look us up on YouTube and 17.5 million people watched our wedding.

"I mean, let's face it, I could've picked from number 1 and number 3." But affectionately pointing to his wife, Alex said: "This is number 2".

The YouTube host asked Alex to reveal his favourite thing about his wife. He didn't hesitate with his adorable response, gushing: "She's as beautiful today as she was when I first met her."

Sue was just as loved-up when she spoke about her husband's qualities, replying: "He's so kind and he makes me laugh all the time!"

The smitten couple also took the time to impart some words to wisdom to other people who meet on blind dates. Sue advised: "Go into it with an open heart and make the best of it!"

She definitely knows what she's talking about – as the pair renewed their wedding vows at St Michael & All Angels Church in Pelsall, Walsall, West Midlands, this year.

While the late Cilla couldn't be there like she was back in the 90s, hundreds of people attended. The couple's adult children were also able to see their parents declare their love for each other after all of these years.

One responded: "I recognised him straight away , lovely to see they stayed together. I was one of the 17 and half million that watched them get together." Another swooned: "Look at the way he looks at her. That's pure love."

A third wrote: "I remember them. Literally heartwarming they are still married and in love. It's a rare thing and I love seeing it." And a fourth added: "I remember those two!! Lovely seeing them so happy."
