Gino D'Acampo has spoken about his marriage to wife wife Jessica Stellina Morrison, revealing why he thinks it has lasted for so long.

The This Morning chef and his other half have been married since 2002, and had been together for a few years before tying the knot.

"I think it's not only important to spend quality time with my family, but I also strongly believe in spending time alone," he said.

"You discover new things about yourself and you have time to think, which is something that people don't do often enough. Everybody's always so busy and alone time is super-important for my marriage.

"Jessica and I have been together for 31 years, we have three children, and we never have problems, because we have our own lives away from one another."

It reflects comments he previously made in an interview with OK! Magazine, where he said that: "I can be away for a month and I will talk to my wife once a week for about 20 minutes. Then, when I come back, we can talk about it all."

As well as being a chef and presenting things like travel shows and Family Fortunes, Gino was crowned King of the Jungle in the 2009 series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

The latest series is kicking off in just a few weeks, on Sunday, November 17. The line-up hasn't been confirmed yet, but the rumours are flying around about who's taking part.
