Steve Jones insists he’s finally put his womanising ways in the past after marrying Phylicia Jackson-Jones, with the star describing their union as his ‘greatest achievement’.
The television presenter, 45, and recipe writer Phylicia wed in 2014, Steve having been linked to a number of stars including Pamela Anderson and Hayden Panettiere among others in the past.
However, he insists he only has eyes for Phylicia today who he describes as his ‘absolute favourite person’.

He told the Mirror: ‘My good marriage, my healthy marriage – it’s my greatest achievement.
‘I love being with my wife. She’s my absolute favourite person.’
The couple met 11 years ago while Steve was working in America on The X Factor USA and Phylicia was a photographer.

Steve proposed in front of Phylicia’s family in Italy in September 2014 after she relocated from Los Angeles to the UK with him in 2013.
They wed in October 2014 in a low-key ceremony at the Mayfair Library in London and held a reception near Tower Bridge, just one month after he popped the question.
A source told the Daily Mirror at the time: ‘It might seem to have happened incredibly quickly to outsiders given that they only had a few weeks to plan the entire day but they couldn’t be happier.

‘They spent two months on a road trip around Europe over the summer which is when Steve decided she really was the one.’

Steve has been linked in the past to actress Pamela Anderson, 54, and American actress, model, and singer Hayden Panettiere, 32, television presenters Fearne Cotton, 40, and Alex Jones, 45, as well as late Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding who died at the age of 39 in September last year.

He also surprised singer Kylie Minogue, 53, when he got down on one knee when she took over a T4 Weekend on Channel 4 in 2010.
However, Steve does not look like to look back at his past relationships, telling the Mirror this weekend: ‘To even talk about the past now would be disrespectful to [Phylicia]. I don’t think about the past. I don’t read about myself or Google my own name.
‘We’re happy and having a good time. That’s one of the things I’m most proud about.’
The presenter said in 2015: ‘The problem though is that Phylicia’s so fantastic I want to keep marrying her.
‘I love her so much that I keep thinking, ‘Right, I’m going to propose in this moment, because she’s so perfect,’ and then I think, ‘Oh wait a minute, she’s already my wife!”
However, he hasn’t been totally on his best behaviour since meeting Phylicia – in 2017, Steve confessed to having sex in Buckingham Palace toilets with his wife during an appearance on Through The Keyhole.
Speaking to host Keith Lemon about why he was there, Steve cheekily said: ‘For like a charity thing, I took my wife with me and we had sex in the bathroom.’
