Stephen Fry's husband Elliott Spencer addressed age gap as presenter explained why they haven't been seen together in years
Stephen Fry's husband Elliott Spencer has previously spoken about the couple's age gap, and what he thinks about comments from the public.
Fry was made the host of UK's Jeopardy! upon its return at the start of 2024, and in an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, which will air tonight (22 March), he revealed he was a fan of the game show.
The British TV personality admitted that he avoided 'Hollywood parties', preferring to stay home and watch the American version of Jeopardy! with his husband.

In explaining that, Fry revealed why you probably won't have seen the pair out and about as much, not living the lifestyle of others with his level of fame.
It seems it was meant to be though, with Fry, 67, and Spencer, 37, always being on the same page, as the latter spoke about their relationship back in February 2015, a month after they tied the knot.
Speaking at the BAFTAS that year via The Mirror, Spencer admitted that he was the 'love of his life', adding: "Humour is the key to everything. We laugh all the time."
"I don’t care what people think," he admitted about criticism of their 30-year age gap from others, saying: "Stephen is the love of my life, the light of my life."
The writer and photographer revealed that they were introduced to each other by friends at a house party three years prior to their wedding, calling the experience since then 'incredible'.
Spencer stated: "The rest is history."
"I’m just really happy and enjoying being married. It’s all been really exciting and new. I’m not really doing anything else," he added.
Opening up on his career, Spencer revealed: "I’m focusing on photography now rather than comedy, and being creative. I’m hoping to hold an exhibition so Stephen and all our friends can see my work."
The couple make occasional appearances on the red carpet together, but though they remain fairly private, Fry took to Instagram in January this year to celebrate their anniversary.
"Ten happy years to the day since we were joined in marriage. I’m a lucky man," he wrote.
For Fry professionally though, his gig as the host of UK's version of Jeopardy! came after a conversation with his agent, where he admitted he was a fan but that the British version no longer existed.
It took just a couple of weeks for Fry to be offered the role, which he has held over the past year.
