“So, as we’re just about to welcome our second child in only a couple of weeks, this is my shameless opportunity to celebrate @izyeung, an incredible, independent and loving wife.”

He added: “She’s also the mother to our child (we have one, and the next, a lil girl to join our little boy, is soon to come!).
“She is the greatest mother I could ever have imagined. She can handle absolutely anything and can carry the weight of the world on her shoulders.
“She can pursue an incredible career she’s passionate about whilst still being a ridiculously loving mother to her son and an amazingly understanding wife to her husband.
“It’s genuinely hard to follow an intense career and be a parent at thesame time, but she manages it despite the many stresses.”
He added that as a wife she was the reason he was the man he was today and that they don’t have predefined roles, but instead help out whenever they see the other one is struggling.
He said: “We try to do what’s best for each other and the family. We are a partnership. I want her to thrive and achieve her goals. She wants me to do the same.
“We hold each other to the standards we both believe in, and Isobel likes to tell me, brutally honestly, if I do anything wrong. And I am a better man because of it.
“As we move to yet another stage of madness, two kiddies + still having to travel for work!!
“I’ll just say, love you @izyeung – and sorry, I know you weren’t a huge fan of the top pic but it’s so cute.”
Ben, who fronts the hugely popular Channel 4 show UNTOLD as well as current C4 series Kingpins, was congratulated by his followers.
The hotshot documentary maker has won numerous accolades for his documentary work throughout his career.
He has picked up the Broadcast Award for best documentary series for his hard-hitting documentary titled Kingpin Cribs: Drugs, Death and Pet Tigers.
And also an Association for International Broadcasting Award for the documentary The Cult of Conspiracy: QAnon.
