It came as a shock to former Towie star Kate, 31, when he pitched up at their Kent mansion while she was in the home gym.

Rio told followers: “I just got home and she’s crying. She’s pleased to see me. I look horrendous. I feel horrendous. She’s crying.”

Kate replied, hiding her face: “I didn’t know you were going to be here.”

Rio tried to film his wife, saying: “She won’t look. Go on, show us you’re crying. Go on, show us your tears.”

She posted the clip online, writing: “We got a surprise visitor. I was in the gym and the dog started barking so went to the door and Rio was waiting there.

“Nothing normally gets past me, so this was such a shock I just burst into tears.”

The Ferdinands later went on a family trip to Lapland UK to celebrate being reunited.

Kate and Rio posed together for a selfie at the Christmas-themed attraction.

She wrote alongside videos of their son Cree meeting Father Christmas: “Daddy joined us for a magical trip to @laplanduk, we had the best day!”
