Harry and Sandra Redknapp said their marriage has lasted so long because they both still adore each others company.
The couple first met in a bar when they were both 17. It was love at first sight and they both tied the knot just four years later, leading to the 55-year-long marriage they both continue to enjoy.
The pair have been more or less joined at the hip all their lives except when Harry decided to take part in ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! He admitted the most difficult part about doing the show was being away from his wife but saw her briefly when she paid the jungle a surprise visit, leading to an emotional reconnection.

The couple joined This Morning to discuss their new book, When Harry Met Sandra, a tell-all book about the ups and downs of their relationship. The book touches on the milestones they've enjoyed together including their wedding, becoming parents, and the little things they still find to love about each other.
Holly Willoughby commended the pair for still "clearly being obsessed with each other before asking them what their secret is. Harry said: "It's difficult, isn't it? It's hard for us to say because things have been so good for us.
"Lots of people get married and things happen. We laugh together and we get on well and if I get the hump about something Sandra laughs at me and tells me to calm down. I'm so lucky to be married to Sandra. She's looked after me. She's my life to be honest."
He added: "Sandra is very different to me. She's very quiet and very shy. She's quite happy just spending time with the family and would rather take a backseat."
Sandra joked she wasn't bothered whether or not Harry contacted her after they first met. She gave him her number on a tissue, written with green lipstick, but Harry was in touch the day after.
Discussing their upcoming 60th anniversary, Harry said: "You meet someone and you fall in love and just never fell out of it. We get on so well and we just have a great time together."
Sandra added: "Don't go to bed on an argument."
