Clare Balding was 'a shoulder to cry on' for her wife Alice Arnold when her previous relationship ended.

Clare Balding was 'a shoulder to cry on' for her wife Alice Arnold when her previous relationship ended. The couple, who have appeared together on Celebrity Gogglebox, met in 1999 when Alice was a BBC Radio 4 announcer and newsreader - becoming friends first, as they were both with partners, before their own relationship began and progressed. While Clare, 53, insists she knew there was a special connection between the pair from the day they met, she did not see anything romantic between them as they were both with other partners at the time.
