Yvette Fielding met her husband Karl Beattie filming a show when he was expecting “a vet” to turn up.
The pair were making the City Hospital documentary series with a segment about canines helping people cope with illness.
Yvette, 55, explained: “On one show in 1998, I was presenting an item about how dogs can help people with illness and disabilities – it was this that led to me meeting Karl properly for the first time.

“‘They’ve got a patient leaving today and they’re being given a dog to help them cope’, the director told Karl, who was the cameraman. ‘You’ll be doing this item with Yvette’.

“What Karl heard was: ‘You’ll be doing this item with a vet.’ So he was waiting for a professional vet to arrive when I went to him and asked, ‘Right, where shall I stand?’ ‘Don’t we have to wait for the vet to come?’ he asked. ‘No. I’m Yvette.’ And that was our first introduction.
“He knew who I was because he’d watched me on Blue Peter and had worked on What’s Up Doc? He just hadn’t put two-and-two together that I would be presenting.”

The couple quickly fell in love and would go on to create their ghost-hunting series Most Haunted Together. In her new memoir Scream Queen, she added: “I remember looking at him and thinking, ‘That is the most handsome, sexiest man I have ever seen in my life.’ I’d fallen in love immediately. If I could have had a poster of him on my bedroom wall, I would.”

“I approached the production team to ask if they could always make sure Karl Beattie was down to be my cameraman when they were planning out who did what on the whiteboard.”
