Tony is also the dad to Simon, who was born in his previous marriage to actress Tessa Wyatt, who married in 1972.

The television personality previously opened up about the quiet place he visits with Debbie to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The BBC Radio 2 DJ told Express.co.uk in March that he now likes to spend his downtime in their peaceful holiday home in Devon.

He spoke about cutting back on the number of shows he’s been doing lately in order to take more time out to relax.

Tony explained: "I wanted to cut it down a little bit because all the travelling was quite, you know, we're going from one place to another and things like that… Whereas now, I want a little bit more time to relax."

Tony then went on to reveal that one of his favourite places to go is his holiday home on the coast. He said: "Some of the time, I live down in Devon.

"We've got a little flat there and I like to get down there and be by the sea. I'm in a little village there and it's just fabulous.

"I love having a little bit more time off with my wife and we go to Devon and walk along the seafront."
