OPEN AND HONEST: 'BEING A MUM WASN'T MEANT FOR ME IN THIS LIFE'

It’s clear to see that TV presenter Lisa Snowdon and her fiancé George Smart are meant to be together when we catch up with the loved-up pair at their stunning Essex home.

The love story between Lisa and creative director George goes way back, but it was serendipity that reunited them and brought them back together the second time round. After a fleeting fling in their twenties, the pair went their separate ways – Lisa headed to Los Angeles and George enjoyed a new life in London.

Lisa tells us, “I was working at MTV and George had come from Yorkshire to work there, too. That was 18 years ago. We hooked up at V Festival at the end of the night. We had a little hot fling for a minute and then that was it for years.”

It wasn’t until a mutual friend reunited the pair 14 years later that they were in it for the long haul. “We had a little liaison back then but I hadn’t seen him since. When we were reintroduced, he asked me out for dinner and we just chatted and laughed for hours,” Lisa recalls.

George romantically got down on one knee at Christmas time 2017. Talking of the wedding, Lisa reveals, “We haven’t got anything planned, we’re even less inclined to plan anything now but we’ll see. We’re really happy together and we’re going to be together forever, regardless of whether we actually have a contract signed and big service.”
