Anthea Turner has revealed the secrets behind finding love later in life after she bounced back from a tough divorce to meet her new fiance.

She told OK! 'I'm a Gemini, so I'm always optimistic. I always knew that at some point, I'd meet somebody else. But obviously, you don't know when, who. And it's daunting, if you're in your fifties and all of a sudden, whatever you thought your future was, suddenly disappears.

Anthea recently shared the happy news on Instagram with a heartfelt message to Claudia and James.

She concluded, 'Granny Anth', alongside several emojis.
