John Bishop has shared a heart-warming tribute to his wife Melanie on her birthday.
The pair married in 1993 and went on to have three sons, though it hasn't always been plain sailing for them.
John has previously told The Mirror about difficulties he has faced in his marriage.

He said: "There was no huge fight or revelation about someone else. We just grew apart."
Thankfully, the couple reunited after Melanie saw John performing stand-up comedy some 18 months after their separation.
He said: "We met up after the show and she said seeing me up there reminded her of me as I used to be. When I was a good laugh."
Thankfully seeing him tell jokes did the trick, as they have been together ever since and remain happily married.
On Friday, the Liverpool-born comic shared a series of photos to commemorate Melanie's big day.
Some showed Melanie alone, and with animals on their farm, while one was clearly taken a long time ago.
The photo shows Melanie with voluminous, curly locks and huge hooped earrings.
John, who has her arm around her, sports a much shorter hairstyle than we are used to seeing him with, and looks incredibly fresh-faced.
Captioning the post, he said: "Nobody knows me like you.... you are everything its that simple. Happy birthday babe xxx"
Fans were quick to wish Melanie well, with some also calling the two "couple goals".
