Wife number four for O'Connor

Des O'Connor has tied the knot for the fourth time at the age of 75, proving that age and a history of divorce have not put him off matrimony.

The television presenter married Jodie Brooke Wilson, aged 38, at a chapel in the grounds of Highclere Castle, Berkshire.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, the couple's two-year-old son Adam played the part of honorary best man at the ceremony.

The Countdown host's four daughters from his previous marriages also attended, as did TV personality Cilla Black.

"Des wanted it to be fun-filled, opulent and extravagant with music and dancing," a guest told the Mail of the marquee reception which followed.

O'Connor has been a regular fixture on UK television screens since 1963, with famous shows such as Des O'Connor Tonight and Today with Des and Mel (with Melanie Sykes) under his belt.
