They’d only just met a second time in 1985, but within a week, King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp asked singer/actress Toyah Willcox to marry him. They did so on Robert’s 40th birthday in 1986, when the pint-sized “force of nature,” to hear him describe his wife, was 28.

That they are still very happily wed decades later—and the fact that they’re both famous, of course—qualified them for an appearance on All Star Mr & Mrs, the ITV game show where celeb couples compete for charity. In this episode, which aired on May 8th, 2013, Toyah and her crafty guitarist hubby squared off against BBC sports presenter Gabby Logan and her husband, and EastEnders actor Jake Wood—who is best known on these shores as the voice of the GEICO gecko—and his wife.
 

 
I can’t imagine that this was Fripp’s idea, but it’s absolutely adorable that he went along with it. Who would have thought the fiercely intellectual Robert Fripp could be this… cute???
 

Frippercakes?

His adoring wife, obviously. This IS cute, make no mistake about it, and it shows a side of Robert Fripp—quite a big part of his personality, I’d say, from the looks of things here—that few outside of his immediate circle are likely to have seen before.
