The couple first crossed paths at a book launch event for a publication on Swiss cheese back in 1992. Despite his parents' initial reservations about his career choice, the 59-year-old television presenter credits Catherine for providing him with the "courage and space to pursue my dreams".

During an appearance on the Desperately Seeking Wisdom podcast, BBC Proms host Clive shared: "We've come from bigger families. I'm from a family of seven.

And Catherine's from a family of five kids. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
