Meet Kirstie Allsopp's new husband and famous family
Kirstie Allsopphas been with her partner, Ben Andersen for more than 20 years but the Love It or List It presenter shocked followers and fans when it was revealed they had married in secret recently.
The Channel 4 presenter, 53, married property tycoon Ben, 64, on 23 January at Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair.
To keep things under wraps until the big moment, Kirstie explained how the couple invited only a small group of close friends and family to join them on their special day – including their teenage sons – and many were only told about it the Monday prior.
"We already had a big party planned to mark Ben’s birthday, so most of our guests thought that’s what they were coming to celebrate, and we did just that, with lots of food, drink, and dancing and all my nephews and nieces running around, having a ball," she explained to Daily Mail.
Kirstie looked sensational on her wedding day wearing a gold and bronze tulle Oscar de la Renta gown.
