Lorraine Kelly has given a rare insight into her 29-year marriage to husband Steve Smith.
The iconic daytime TV host, 61, who wed cameraman Steve, 61, in 1992, praised her husband for 'picking up the slack' and enabling her to juggle her busy work and home life.
Steve has famously stayed out of the spotlight and in his wife's shadow, with Lorraine joking 'his idea of hell would be a premiere' - but he understands the demands of her role in the entertainment world.

She told The Mirror: He picks up the slack and always has. I couldn't do what I do if it weren't for him. He makes me laugh an awful lot. He's very kind and a brilliant dad.'
The pair share daughter Rosie, 27.
Lorraine added: 'His idea of hell on earth would be at something like a premiere,' laughs Lorraine. It would be like having needles stuck in his eyes. That does help. It must be very odd being with someone who enjoys walking down a red carpet.'
The host also lauded her partner for his support when she was going through perimenopause.
