Gyles Brandreth, a well-known face on TV shows such as Countdown, Public Opinion, QI, and Celebrity Gogglebox, recently shared a heartwarming throwback photo from his wedding day in 1973. The This Morning star, now 76 years old, looks almost unrecognizable in the sweet snap, which captures a moment from his special day with his wife, Michele Brown.
But before his successful career in the public eye, Gyles was a student at Oxford University, where he not only studied Modern History and Modern Languages, but also met his future wife, Michele. Five years later, after Gyles had ventured into theatre and Michele had become a TV reporter, the couple decided to tie the knot in a simple and intimate ceremony.
The wedding took place at Marylebone Register Office on June 8, 1973, with Gyles' best friend from school, actor Simon Cadell, as their witness. This week, Gyles shared a beautiful photo from that day to celebrate 51 years of marriage with Michele. In the photo, Gyles is seen wearing a pinstripe suit and thick dark tie, with his arm around his bride's shoulder and his head resting on her. Michele, on the other hand, looks stunning in a floral denim two-piece jacket and skirt set.
Gyles captioned the post with a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, saying, "'A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.' The picture is of me and my wife, Michele, outside Marylebone Register Office in London, on our wedding day: 8 June 1973."
His followers flooded the comments section with messages of love and support, with many admiring the couple's beauty and wishing them a happy anniversary. Gyles and Michele have four children together, one of whom, Aphra, is a former Conservative councillor and is currently running for a seat in the 2024 general election.
The couple, who have been living in Southwest London since 1986, are known for their loving relationship and strong family bond. Despite Gyles' busy career as a TV personality, radio host, and author, he always makes time for his family. This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV1, giving viewers a chance to catch a glimpse of the beloved star.
