Who is Anton Du Beke’s wife?
Strictly star Anton’s Hannah Summers, 46, is a Chief Marketing Officer for mobile phone security company AdaptiveMobile.
The couple met at a golf club in 2011, after following her into the toilets at a formal dinner.
Speaking to the That Gaby Roslin Podcast last year, Anton revealed he did not make the best first impression.
He explained: ‘Towards the end of the dinner, she gets up to leave the table and I thought to myself, right, here’s my chance I’m going to go and talk to her.
‘I never gave it enough thought though because when you are at a dinner like this there are very few reasons to get up and leave the table, I basically followed her out to the ladies toilet. Brilliant.
‘In she goes, I’m three paces behind her, I go ah, while you’re here I might as well go so I dipped into the men’s, then I came out of the men’s and then I thought oh, she might have gone back to the table and I’ve missed my chance, do I wait here, she might still be in here, do I ask someone to check – I can’t do that it’s ridiculous.
‘As I’m mulling this over she comes out of the loo, I’m stood there outside the ladies toilet, she stops and she looks at me and goes, “Have you been waiting outside the toilet for me?” And I went, might have been, and she goes, “weirdo” and walks off.’

He said: ‘I couldn’t imagine doing it any other age, of course, because I haven’t. I wouldn’t have been ready for it earlier in my life.’
Going on to confess he was extremely self-centred as a young man, adding: ‘The earlier part of my life was very very strictly on me.
‘I wouldn’t have been ready for number of reason, that reason, financially – children can cost you a few quid!’.
