Ben Fogle pays tribute to his wife Marina after she revealed they were wrongly reported to social services for 'shouting at their children'


The TV presenter, 50, shared a loved-up snap with his wife as they celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary and called her his 'rock' and 'champion'.

During an interview on Wednesday on the BBC's Today programme, she insisted that mobile phones and better healthcare meant travel was safer than in the past and 'in previous generations people did things far younger'. I was aware of Jon Haidt's work on how risk averse we have become, but every year kids who have finished their GCSEs travel about the UK & Europe, it's a right of passage that has been happening for eons. 'Oscar's birthday is in late August, so he is summer born, this means he was always going to be 15 not 16 when doing post GCSE activities, the obsession with this age boundary is bizarre, why does anyone think he is less mature & capable than 2 boys I know who went from London to Istanbul by train after GCSEs, but happened to be older for their school year?
