Sunday Brunch star Tim Lovejoy is typically reticent when it comes to talking about his love life - although his affection for his three daughters has always remained crystal clear.

Tim, 55, was a presenter of Sky Sports' hugely popular Soccer AM show when he married ex-model Jade in 2002. Their twin daughters Grace and Rose were born the same year. But by 2004, the Sunday Mirror reported the presenter had taken time off his weekly Virgin radio show to try and save his marriage, citing Tim's obsession with football and love of partying as causing problems. The couple divorced in 2006.

Tim was linked with Ruth Reynolds, a page-three girl and Soccer AM 'Soccerette' before in 2012, he began dating netball player Tamsin Greenway. He had a daughter, Jamie Jeane, with the former England International, who works as a netball pundit for Sky Sports.

On May 22, 2013, Tim tweeted: "Tamsin Greenway has put in the best performance of her life. Our baby girl Jamie Jeane Lovejoy arrived this morning. They're both well." However three years later, the couple's break up was confirmed in 2016, when Tim's agent said: :Tim and Tamsin have sadly split up.

"They have a daughter together who remains their priority." At the time, Tim told the Mirror of the heartache of not seeing his children every day. "It's horrendous," he said. "It’s been really hard. I've never gotten used to not being around my children. I have to deal with it but it's not the best thing."

The same year, the Channel 4 star spoke on a more lighthearted note about being a single dad to three girls. "I remember sitting there and all my mates were laughing because one of the kids came down with their Barbie doll and said: 'Dad, can you put the shoes back on, and the dress?'" he laughed. "I’m so used to it that I just got on with it."

Sunday Brunch airs every Sunday from 9.30am on Channel 4.
