Escape to the Country's Nicki Chapman inundated with support as she celebrates milestone
Escape to the Country presenter Nicki Chapman marked a major milestone with her husband, Dave.
Escape to the Country presenter Nicki Chapman paid tribute to her husband as they celebrated their wedding anniversary.
Nicki tied the knot with Dave 'Shacky' Shackleton, a music producer and Sony BMG executive, in 1999. The BBC host, 57, took to Instagram on Tuesday (July 9) to mark 25 years of marriage, sharing a number of snaps of the couple from over the years.
The first image was taken of Nicki and Dave in the South of France. Other holiday snaps were included, while the final photos were taken from the couple's big day.
Nicki wrote in the caption: "25 years It’s our silver wedding anniversary. This day 25 years ago, was one of the hottest of the year. Not quite the same today me thinks but still in love with my boy as much now as I was then."
The former Popstars judge continued: "Punching above my weight? Definitely @shacky01. Not sure we (or perhaps just me!) could fit into our wedding attire like another celebrating couple recently.

"However, some photos of us taken this year in the South of France (green dress of dreams actually belongs to a dear friend @annacb1973 who kindly lent it to me), on a cruise, out & about & our actual wedding day at Syon House."
She signed off the post by declaring her love for 'Shacky', before thanking her friends and family for the anniversary wishes. The post was flooded with messages from Nicki's friends and followers, who wished the couple a happy anniversary.
One wrote: "Huge congratulations to you both. Here’s to the next 25." Echoing this, another penned: "Happy silver wedding anniversary to you both. Have a wonderful day being spoiled and looking to the next 25."
A third added: "Happy Silver wedding anniversary to you both. Beaming with happiness and love then and now. The years fly by too quickly. Many many more happy years to you both."

Last year, Nicki opened up about her health scare after doctors discovered a tumour the size of a golf ball on her brain.
Nicki was warned that the life-saving surgery she needed posed the risk of permanent loss of speech, sight or movement. She had the tumour removed, however, a small part of it was too dangerous to cut, leaving Nicky concerned that it could return.
Thankfully, Nicky got the news that her brain tumour had completely gone. Recalling the moment she got the all-clear, Nicky said: "I was filming Escape To The Country and standing in a field of pigs when my consultant phoned me.
"He told me my brain tumour had gone. I asked him, 'Is that usual? ' And he said, 'Yes, but it's quite rare.' I immediately phoned my husband Dave and we were both in tears. It was such a huge relief to us both."
