How long have Kris Thykier and Claudia Winkleman been married?
It is not known how long Claudia and Kris have been together, but they did marry at Marylebone Town Hall in June 2000.
The secret wedding ceremony was attended just by their closest family and friends.
While Claudia, who joined the Strictly family in 2014, keeps much of her marriage private, she did open up after her family survived the third Covid-19 lockdown.
She quipped that she often questions "why or how" she and Kris are still together, as she isn’t the most domesticated partner.

She told The Sun of her Scandinavian hubby: "Kris is very Danish in his ways.
"So, it’s not up to me to make dinner, it’s not up to me to make lunch and it’s not up to him to take the kids outside to play catch."
She added: "In 20 years of marriage he has not once asked me what’s for dinner.
"I married a feminist, my mother wouldn’t have let me not."
Do they have any children?
The couple have three children and live in Connaught Square in London.
Their children are Jake (born 2003), Matilda (born 2006), and Arthur (born 2011).
In October 2014, Claudia's daughter Matilda hit headlines after she was seriously injured and taken to hospital when her Halloween costume caught fire.
Claudia stated that her daughter, who was eight at the time, had brushed against a candle which had lead to her costume catching alight.
After the incident, the government subsequently tightened the regulations around costume standards.
