Nick and his then-partner Margo wed back in 1973.
During their marriage, the couple had two children together, James and Kate.
However, after 12 years together, Nick and Margo decided to divorce in 1985.
It was 100% my fault.
Back in 2012, the former Apprentice star and Countdown host opened up on the reason behind their split.
At the time, he told The Guardian: “My first marriage broke down because of my work and that is, and remains, a cause of great sadness.”
Nick added: “It was 100% my fault.”
Following his divorce, Nick went on to find love again with partner Catherine.
The couple have been dating since 1996.
Speaking about their relationship in 2020, Nick told The Mirror: “It works because Catherine and I are too busy to spend every waking moment together.
