Reports surrounding the new romance began circulating at the end of last year, with the presenter now revealing to Saga magazine that the rumours are true.

The couple are said to have met over a year ago at a lunch with friends and have kept their relationship a secret ever since.

In the interview, the former Weakest Link host went on to discuss her return to the dating pool in her 70s, after being single for 17 years.
"I'd been out of the game for so long. And also I don't drink. If you don't drink you're not as reckless, are you?" she explained.
"I'd say that like everything else I've done, it's always worth the risk. I'm a great believer in surprising yourself by taking risks. Personally and professionally."
She concluded: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If the worst that can happen is you get some egg on your face, that's not terrible is it?"
