Countryfile star Adam Henson and wife Charlie open up about last-minute wedding after devastating cancer diagnosis
COUNTRYFILE star Adam Henson and his wife Charlie have opened up about their sudden marriage after a painful cancer diagnosis.
The couple already had two children together but after going through the heart-breaking health battle decided to tie the knot.
Adam, 57, admitted that it was a “huge shock” when docs revealed that Charlie had pancreatic cancer.
The Countryfile presenter previously thought his partner had just caught a bug from an animal at their farm.
She felt ill for over three months before finally receiving the terrifying news that she had a 4.5cm tumour.
Adam told the Telegraph living through the situation was a “nightmare”, adding: “It was a huge shock. By nature, I’m a pragmatist, which probably comes from being a farmer.
“I deal in facts, and I work out what can be done, but in this situation, I was totally lost.”
Charlie said that after finding out about her condition, getting married to Adam became “the most important thing in the world” to her.
“It’s ridiculous but I really, really wanted everyone to know how much I love Adam,” the emotional wife shared. “Most importantly, I wanted him to know. It was suddenly such a big thing.”
Thankfully Charlie is currently in recovery and the loved up couple have both been able to return to working in TV.
Adam is known for appearing on the BBC One programme as a farmer, and meanwhile Charlie is a location manager.
