Loose Women panellist Janet Street-Porter has announced her fifth marriage after she tied the knot with her partner Peter Spanton last Saturday.
The 79-year-old revealed she had tied the knot with her new husband, who she has known for 27 years, on ITV’s Loose Women on Monday.
The broadcaster was seen with Spanton and her dog, Badger, and she said: “It’s my big news for everybody watching. Peter and me and Badger got married on Saturday. There you are, I finally did it.”
Speaking about her nuptials, Street-Porter said: “I saved the best till last.”
Her Loose Women co-stars were excited, and congratulated her on the news following the announcement.
Scottish broadcaster Kaye Adams joked that Spanton makes “number five”, while TV personality Brenda Edwards said: “It doesn’t matter, she’s got happiness – stop counting the numbers.”
Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver and TV personality Nadia Sawalha were also among the panellists who congratulated the star.
Street-Porter is a writer and journalist, best known as a Loose Women panellist, having appeared on the show for the past decade.
She has previously had four other husbands, having met her first husband, Tim Street-Porter in 1967 while she was a student, as recounted in her 2006 memoir, Fall Out.
The pair split in 1975, and she later wed Time Out editor Tony Elliott for two years in the 1970s, before tying the knot with Canadian film-maker Frank Cvitanovich in 1979.
The broadcaster split from Cvitanovich in 1981, and married her fourth husband, David Sorkin, in 1997.
The pair divorced two years later, in 1999.
Street-Porter is currently touring as part of her one-woman show, Off The Leash, which includes dates in Blackfriars, Southampton and Hampshire.
