Kate Ferdinand has shared snaps of her unromantic Valentine’s Day night in with husband Rio.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star and football pundit shunned dinner out at a fancy restaurant in favour of a cosy night in.
Instead, Kate revealed the couple watched the football while eating ‘his & hers’ Paprika flavoured Pringles.
Posting a photo of their matching Pringles tubs as they cuddled up in a blanket on Instagram, the 30-year-old wrote: “Happy valentines babe. His & hers.”
She followed up with a ‘Happy valentines part 2’ post which showed them watching the footie.
Proving he’s not a complete unromantic, Rio, 43, shared the pics to his own Instagram stories writing the word ‘LOVE’.

Kate and Rio met around New Year’s Eve 2016 when both happened to be holidaying in Dubai and were introduced by mutual friends.
At the time Kate had not long broken up from her TOWIE co-star boyfriend Dan Edgar, who is now in a relationship with Amber Turner.
Months later Kate and Rio went back to Dubai for a top secret holiday, but although Kate shared bikini snaps of her break she didn’t reveal who she was with.
Things got serious pretty quickly, as in April 2017 Kate announced she was leaving TOWIE to focus on her relationship with Rio.
She released a statement telling fans: “I’m taking a step back from the public eye. I want to keep my private life private as I lived my previous relationship on TOWIE. My priority right now is Rio and the family.”
After two years together Rio proposed at the end of 2018 – taking Kate back to Dubai where they met to pop the question on top of a helipad.
It was made even more special by the fact Rio’s three children, Lorenz, Tate and Tia were involved in the romantic gesture.
Revealing the happy news on Instagram, the former pro footballer posted a cute snap of the family together.
He captioned the post: “She said yes. How these 3 kids kept it a secret I’ll never know.”
Kate and Rio tied the knot in a lavish three day ceremony in Turkey in September 2019.
The couple welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Cree, on December 18, 2020.
