Anthea Turner reveals lame reason she’s postponing her wedding for the fourth time

TV presenter Anthea Turner has put her third-time-lucky wedding on hold for the fourth time.

Speaking this week, the 66 year old told how she and Mark Armstrong have put their plans to tie the knot on ice once more.

The pair got engaged in September 2019 after a whirlwind two-month romance. However, seven years after saying yes when he got down on one knee, Anthea has shared why they’ve not become husband and wife yet…

Anthea Turner postpones wedding

The star, who recently underwent surgery after a nasty accident at home, told Woman’s Own that plans for the wedding are on hold.

Speaking about the baffling reason why she and businessman Mark have yet to wed, Anthea said: “We need to sort it out [the wedding], and we absolutely will, but we’ve got a lounge renovation that’s just about starting.”

Frank as ever, she added: “We’re not together because we want to breed or because it’s the only way we can buy a house. We’re together because he is my go-to, he’s my best friend, he’s my everything. I can’t think of anybody I would prefer to be snuggling up to at night. I am truly blessed that we found each other.”

Anthea isn’t ruling out marriage completely, though. And it seems that her third trip down the aisle will happen “someday”.

“Although it would be nice to get married someday, it’s not our priority – but it will happen someday!” she declared.

Why the nuptials have been cancelled

Their wedding was first postponed in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Understandably, the wedding was then postponed a further two times following the deaths of both of their mothers.

This time around, though, new sofas appear to be Anthea’s priority!

Or could it be that she’s changed her mind when it comes to weddings?

Chatting on Vanessa Feltz’s Channel 5 show about her previous wedding to Grant Bovey, Anthea admitted: “It was so extravagant. Really when I think back now, I do remember thinking, this is not me, I don’t really want it to be so big, this was nowhere near what I wanted.

“But I sort of got bamboozled into the whole thing, and it got bigger and bigger and bigger.”

So big, in fact, that Anthea ended up on the cover of a celebrity magazine posing in her wedding dress and holding a chocolate bar, a picture that quickly went viral and sparked huge embarrassment for the star.

So we guess we can’t blame her for waiting…
