This Morning star Gyles Brandreth looks unrecognisable in a throwback photo from his incredible wedding day, as he celebrated his long-lasting marriage with his wife Michele Brown.
The veteran broadcaster and royalist, 62, and his partner have been married for the past 51 years. To mark their recent anniversary, on June 8, Gyles lovingly shared a picture from his younger years as he tied the knot with his wife Michele back in 1973.
The star looked dashing in a striped suit, shirt, and tie, and was seen with a full head of hair as he posed for a picture alongside his wife Michele outside Marylebone Register Office in London. His wife looked incredible as she beamed for the camera wearing a black gown covered in daisies.
He captioned the snap: "A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature." - Ralph Waldo Emerson" and added: "(The picture is of me and my wife, Michele, outside Marylebone Register Office in London, on our wedding day: 8 June 1973.)"
Fans were quick to celebrate the couple's lasting marriage. One person wrote: "Happy anniversary." While a second person added: "A beautiful picture. Firstly, Congratulations on your 51st Anniversary-it’s a long time. Secondly, love the style& fashions of the times-especially the haircuts&clothes."
What Ola and James Jordan really ate and did to shed 7stGyles is a regular guest on the ITV programme but he often faces the heat for his controversial opinions on the show. It comes after the TV star candidly confessed that he 'blames himself' for the death of legendary TV entertainer Rod Hull.
Rod, renowned for his emu attacks on Michael Parkinson and several other celebrities, tragically died in 1999 after falling from the roof of his bungalow, resulting in a severe skull fracture and chest injuries.
Speaking on his Rosebud podcast earlier this month, Gyles admitted: "I killed a man - it was Rod Hull, the emu man. We were at the theatre, we were at the first night of Animal Crackers - it was a show about the Marx brothers. Terrible, terrible weather that night. And he was sitting next to me, and he was complaining all through the show - was interrupting the show almost - going on about how he wanted to get home because he wanted to watch the football, but his Sky aerial wasn't transmitting properly."
"And I said, 'Don't moan about it, if you want to watch the television get a ladder out, climb on to the roof, and fix it Rod.' And after the show, in this stormy weather, he went home, he got out a ladder, he climbed the ladder, and he tried to fix the aerial. Unfortunately the wind was very great and he fell backwards off the ladder and killed himself. So I wasn't actually there, but I'd encouraged him."
