Jimmy Patton regularly appeared on Chucklevision alongside younger brothers Barry and Paul<\/h2>\n

Children’s television star Jimmy Patton has tied the knot with a fan he met on Facebook – despite a 59 YEAR age gap.<\/p>\n

The 85-year-old was a regular on Chucklevision alongside his younger brothers Barry and Paul Elliott.<\/p>\n

He’s tied the knot with Amy Phillips, 26, after popping the question in 2015.<\/p>\n

And the TV personality was still going strong on the dancefloor at midnight, according to The Sun .<\/p>\n

Jimmy and his bride said ‘I do’ at the Southport Theatre and Convention Centre last weekend and are off to Gran Canaria for a romance-filled honeymoon.<\/p>\n

But while some may think there’s quite a significant age gap, Amy’s mum Mary said it isn’t an issue for her.<\/p>\n

She told the newspaper: “The age gap doesn\u2019t bother them or us at all. It\u2019s love- so it doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

“Amy is happy and so are we. We are delighted and very proud.”<\/p>\n

The retired comedian previously admitted he “never thought” he would find love again after the death of his wife Valerie five years ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He asked her dad’s permission to pop the question<\/span> (Photo: Facebook)<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditional Jimmy asked Amy’s father’s permission before he popped the question.<\/p>\n

Describing the proposal in the couple’s living room in South Yorkshire, he said: “It was emotional. Thankfully she said yes.”<\/p>\n

The couple’s Facebook profiles are full of romantic pictures from days out.<\/p>\n

Amy wrote following a trip to Southport: “Another lovely day in Southport with my sweetheart.<\/p>\n

“We hired a motor boat and my darling steered us around the Marine Lake, it was very relaxing and romantic.”<\/p>\n

Jimmy and younger brother Brian appeared on Chucklevision from 1990-2009 where his catchphrase was: “Remember – no slacking.”<\/p>\n

He also appeared on Seaside Special, The Good Old Days, and David Nixon’s Comedy Bandbox.<\/p>\n\n
