The 39-year-old TV star tied the knot with his long-term partner earlier this month, and he is thankful the PR director has brought "stability" to his life and that of his two sons, Bobby, 15, and 14-year-old Freddy, who he had with late former partner Jade Goody.

He said: "I'm so happy to marry Kate, who has brought so much stability to my life. This isn't just any wedding, this is a really special one. It doesn't just represent Kate and I putting rings on each other's fingers. It represents the fact that we won at something really tricky. We won at becoming a family."

And Jeff has praised Kate for making his family "complete" and helping his sons feel like they belong.

He added in an interview with HELLO! magazine: "Before it was just three boys rattling around in a house on our own, trying to get through life. Then Kate came along and worked so hard at making us complete. She hasn't just completed one person, she's completed a family and given three boys a real sense of belonging."

Bobby and Freddy - who were joint best men at the ceremony at the luxurious Tivoli Carvoeiro resort in Portugal - couldn't be happier with their father's choice of partner.

Freddy said: ""Dad always said, 'I want to get married one day - I want to find a nice girl.' And he's found that girl who he's going to live with for the rest of his life."

Bobby added: "One of the biggest things for Fred and I is that Kate makes our dad happy. Which is so special and reassuring for us to see."

Kate praised Jeff as an "incredible" father to the boys and admitted seeing him with his sons reassures her about their future together.

She said: "His outlook in life is everything I ever wanted in a partner.

"He has been so patient with me on this journey, he is loyal and I trust him implicitly. I have also had the privilege of seeing first-hand what an incredible job he has done raising the boys, so I know I couldn't ask for a better father for any future children we might have."
