Richard Osman’s House of Games: Matt Edmondson’s marriage to childhood sweetheart and the dramatic birth of their daughter

Richard Osman’s House of Games is the show that puts celebs through their paces testing their general knowledge skills in a variety of different games.

The show is currently airing on BBC Two, with an array of famous faces going head to head with a daily winner declared following a quick-fire round at the end of the show, and an overall champion being crowned on Friday.

TV presenter and BBC Radio host Matt Edmondson is currently on the programme showing off his general knowledge. Matt presents the weekend afternoon show with Mollie King on BBC Radio 1.

He previously appeared on Fearne Cotton’s show to report on entertainment news and showbiz gossip, but is best known for co-presenting The Xtra Factor alongside Rylan Clark-Neal on ITV2 back in 2016.

The star, who is married to his childhood sweetheart Bryony xx, was famously forced to leave his co host Rylan to present the show solo after his wife went into labour early.

Matt and Bryony tied the knot back in 2013 and he shared a touching tribute to his wife on social media to mark a special anniversary, writing: “Today is 14 YEARS since my first date with @bryonyedmondson – she met me when I was a total stud, with straightened, ‘sun-in’ dyed hair, severe acne and only one jumper to my name.
