Sarah Greene Says Late Husband Orchestrated New Romance

Television presenter Sarah Greene has revealed that she believes her late husband, Mike Smith, orchestrated her new romance from beyond the grave. The 68-year-old, known for her work on Blue Peter and Saturday Superstore, is now in a relationship with Robb Gravett, a former British touring car champion and one of Smith's oldest friends.

Speaking on the My Time Capsule podcast, Greene said: "I sort of know Mike is pulling so many strings in my life. He has undoubtedly been responsible for me meeting my beloved who was one of his oldest friends." She explained that Gravett had been leaving messages on her answering machine, which she initially dismissed as kindness, until a message urged her to respond.

Greene, who currently appears on BBC One quiz programme The Finish Line alongside Roman Kemp, was married to Mike Smith from 1989 until his death in 2014 at age 59, following complications after major heart surgery. She expressed initial concerns about her new relationship, but Gravett reassured her, saying: "It'd be strange if they weren't there. And remember, I love him too."

The couple were first photographed together in 2018, though the exact timeline of their romance remains unclear. Greene has returned to television this week for Christmas editions of The Finish Line, which features celebrity contestants including Rachel Riley, Christopher Biggins, and Tim Vine.
