‘Exactly so this podcast is for them,’ Ben replied, prompting Sara to conclude: ‘Oh, I see, so together we can be clueless.’
Ben lives in Oslo with Norwegian model Sara, who he had planned to tie the knot with back in August. But their plans were scuppered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On what would have been their wedding day, Sara took to Instagram to share a snap of the pair posing together before a sparkling swimming pool.
She wrote: ‘01.08.2020 ended up being a slightly different day than what we had planned for, but still a really amazing day ❤️.
‘Today was supposed to be our wedding day, instead (like so many other couples) we have moved it back to 2021 due to corona. The day was instead spent celebrating the union of two great people ❤️.’

London native Ben shot to fame after joining Christian Ingebrigtsen, Paul Marazzi and Mark Read in the boy band A1 back in 1998.
However, Ben stunned fans when he announced in 2001 that he was quitting the band for ‘personal reasons’.
In 2014, A1 got together again, without Paul, to appear on ITV2 documentary The Big Reunion along with such bands as Eternal, Damage, Girl Thing and 3T.
Ben, who came fifth in Celebrity Big Brother in 2009, has written and produced songs for other artists including Robin Thicke, JLS and Alexandra Burke.
