Alex Brooker's wife, who avoids spotlight

Alex and his wife are notoriously private when it comes to their relationship. However, it is thought that the pair were dating for a number of years before they tied the knot in 2015. Lynsey isn't in the public eye, but the couple did once appear on All Star Mr & Mrs in November 2015 shortly after they wed.

"As they've got older, I've started to worry how my kids will view me. It was actually a few weeks ago that my daughter said to me for the very first time, 'Daddy, you've got two fingers haven't you', and I explained I was born like that. She couldn't have cared less. She hasn't even mentioned since. To her I'm just Daddy."

In 2019, Alex's marriage made headlines after allegations of an affair came to light, though he never commented on the reports publicly.
