The Loose Women panellist, 63, and her partner, 42, who tied the knot in 2018, made sure to celebrate in style as they toasted their first date.

Carol McGiffin celebrated her 16th anniversary with husband Mark Cassidy during a trip to the French Riviera on Monday.
The Loose Women panellist, 63, and her partner, 42, who tied the knot in 2018, made sure to celebrate in style as they toasted their first date.
The host continued: “There have been a lot of changes in our lives, but we still love doing the same things together and being in each other’s company more than ever. Here’s to the next 16.”
Carol met her husband in 2008, when she was 48 and he was just 26, before marrying in a secret ceremony in Bangkok in 2008.
She was previously married to radio and television presenter Chris Evans. The couple married in 1991 and separated three years later. The divorce was finalised in 1998.
Two weeks ago, So Solid Crew’s Lisa Maffia claimed former Loose Women star Carol was the “worst celebrity she’d ever met”.
The 45-year-old singer, who appeared on the ITV show in 2019, branded the host a “rude git” and claimed the presenter’s relationship with her toy boy boyfriend and now husband Mark “went to her head”.
Asked what her worst celebrity encounter was, she told the Livin’ Lavida Loca podcast: “I know this one. Her name is… what’s her name? She’s rude, you know?”
“She was one of the original Loose Women panellists, what an idiot.”
Lisa struggled to remember Carol’s name and said, “She was older, had short, grey, blonde hair. She had a young boyfriend.”

“She had really short hair and started dating a really young guy, and it went to her head. I had to check her.”
After someone in the studio guessed Carol’s identity, the rapper continued: “Yeah. That’s right, McGriffin or Griffin, a grumpy little billy goat. No, she was rude. I’ll tell you like it is, don’t judge me.”
A spokesperson for Carol told MailOnline: “Carol has no recollection of meeting her and does not know who she is.”
