Carol McGiffin rang in her 16th anniversary with her husband Mark Cassidy during a trip to The French Riviera on Monday.
The Loose Women panellist, 63, and her partner, 42, who married in 2018, made sure to celebrate in style as they toasted to their first date.
Enjoying a meal at La Colombe d’Or restaurant in the village of Saint-Paul de Vence, the couple smiled for a photo.
In the update, which Carol shared to Instagram, she included a series of snaps from over the years as they rang in each anniversary in a different location.
She captioned: ‘This week we celebrated our 16th anniversary (meeting not wedding). I can hardly believe it.’

The broadcaster continued: ‘Lots of changes in our lives but we still love doing all the same things together and being in each other’s company more than ever. Here’s to the next 16.’
Carol first met her husband back in 2008 when she was 48 and he was just 26 – before tying the knot in a secret Bangkok ceremony in 2008.
She was previously married to radio and TV presenter Chris Evans. The couple exchanged vows in 1991 before separating three-years later, with their divorce finalised in 1998.
Two weeks ago So Solid Crew’s Lisa Maffia claimed ex Loose Women star Carol was the ‘worst celeb she’d ever met’.
The songstress, 45, who appeared on the ITV show in 2019, branded the broadcaster a ‘rude a**hole’ and claimed the presenter’s relationship with toy boy boyfriend and now husband Mark ‘went to her head’.
When asked her worst celeb encounter she told the Livin’ Lavida Loca podcast: ‘I know this one. Her name is… what is her frigging name? She’s rude you know?’
‘She was one of the original panelists on Loose Women, such an a**hole’.
Struggling to remember Carol’s name Lisa said: ‘She had… she was old, short bob, grey, blondish hair. She had a young boyfriend’.

‘So she had really short cropped sort of hair, and she went and started dating some, like, really young guy, and it kind of went to her head. I had to check her’.
After someone in the studio guessed Carol’s identity correctly, the rapper continued: ‘Yeah. That’s it, McGriffin or Griffin, little flippin’ gruff, billy goat gruff. Nah, she was rude. I will tell you as it is, don’t try me’.
A spokesperson for Carol told MailOnline: ‘Carol doesn’t remember meeting her and doesn’t know who she is’.
