Jesse Watters has claimed an anecdote he shared about letting the air out of his now-wife’s tyres while “trying to get [her] to date” him “was a joke”.

The Fox News host, 43, initially shared the story about his wife Emma DiGiovine, 29, during an episode of his panel series The Five earlier this month.
