During their relationship, Ellie and Matt have welcomed two daughters and one son together.

The presenter and her family are said to live in Gloucestershire, where she grew up.

Ellie has since kept her family life away from the spotlight and as such the names of her children are unknown.

As part of an interview for the BBC show Secret Britain, Ellie opened up on how her work often takes her away from her family.

While talking of the most challenging part of her job on screen, she said: “Long days, especially in the summer when there is so much light to use.”

She added: “We had a few 4am starts. And being away from home.”

Ellie joined Countryfile in 2009 and has since become one of the main presenters on the series.

Since being on the show, Ellie has previously opened up on how she has been pregnant with her children while presenting the popular rural affair series.

She explained to the Telegraph: “That really does challenge me. I’ve been pregnant three times on Countryfile, and you get it in your breasts.”

Ellie went on to add: “Oh my God the pain. I can’t even describe the pain. It would make me weep.

The Countryfile presenter has also kept her relationship with Matt away from her career on screen.

However, as Ellie and Matt celebrated their 10th anniversary together, she previously gave an insight into their romance.

Ellie told Event magazine: “He’s the most handsome man on Earth.

“He’s my beloved, and I hope we die together. Not yet. But that’s my wish – that we end up dying together.”

In the same interview, Ellie explained how she underwent scarification on her arm in celebration of their 10 year anniversary.

Talking of the tribute, she explained: “We’re not married, but this was my great offering to him.

“Obviously if he leaves me I’ll have to create a different story about what it’s about!”

Countryfile will air tonight on BBC One from 6.30pm.
