Alistair Appleton is a favourite on our screens as one of the presenters of the BBC's Escape to the Country, but there is much more to the star – including his rarely-seen husband
Alistair Appleton is a familiar face from the BBC's Escape to the Country, having been a mainstay on the show since 2007, earning him a dedicated fan base. He presents the show alongside names including Ginny Buckley and Nicki Chapman.
As his TV career continued to flourish, Alistair bagged an MA in Advanced Psychotherapy at the Minster Centre in London in 2014. Speaking to Hampshire Life magazine in 2012, he revealed: "I loved that work so much that I started to get a bit disenchanted with all the crazy schedules of TV filming and I decided five years ago to re-train as a psychotherapist."
Living the dream, Alistair has indeed made his own escape to the country, residing in a charming cottage near the Sussex coast with his husband Daniel Martin. He recently shared a picture of Daniel, who is a potter, saying: "So proud of my beautiful husband.@thepilgrimpotter This weekend is his first pottery fair. At the prestigious @townergallery no less. this weekend! After a mad rush with lots of explosions and triumphs - he’s here!! And it looks stunning. #townergallery.
He also expressed his gratitude for his partner, stating: "I am lucky to have found love and have a very understanding and supportive husband, Daniel... We're currently in a 1930s French sea captain's cottage in the port of Newhaven. And we live there with our very big dog Ben."
