Who is Alan Titchmarsh's wife?
Alan has been happily married to his wife Alison since 1975. The couple met when they were both in their early twenties at an amateur dramatics group and quickly struck up a romance that is still going strong nearly 50 years later.
Alan has often described Alison, who worked as a doctor but is retired now, as his "best friend", and these days they split their time between their Grade-II listed Georgian farmhouse in Hampshire and their holiday home near Cowes on the Isle of Wight.

Speaking to The Mirror in 2020 during the early days of the pandemic, the TV personality revealed that both his daughters live locally but he was unable to see them - or his adoring grandchildren - for several months due to lockdown restrictions.
"I'm very lucky, one's got two little boys, aged eight and six, and one's got two little girls, aged seven and five," he said. "Catching up with the children and grandchildren is what I am so desperate to do. We're looking at one another on screen and it's not the same as a cuddle is it? I miss giving my grandchildren a big hug."
