Countryfile's Adam Henson's wife admits 'getting complacent' in their relationship before being diagnosed with cancer


After being told of the tumour, Charlie shared how the news made her realise she wanted to marry Adam, 58, having been in a relationship with him since the pair were teenagers.

In an interview with The Mirror in October 2023, Charlie said: 'After 28 years together you do get a bit complacent, but getting married was suddenly really important - we didn't know how long we had left, and I wanted Adam to know I was committed to him.' Adam said he was 'terrified' and felt 'totally lost' following Charlie's diagnosis, and accepted her proposal immediately but feared that their impending marriage could be cut short in brutal fashion. As Charlie said 'I do' at Stroud Registry Office in Gloucestershire in front of her closest family and friends, the new bride was just hours away from undergoing a complex operation.
