following day to say the shoes had turned up – wedding ring still firmly tied into the laces – and he was back in the good books with wife Kim Sears. Despite claiming his wife wasn’t happy, he later admitted that she had been more calm about the situation than he had, saying: “It wasn’t too bad, to be honest. My wife’s pretty laid back with that stuff.”

Following ring-gate, Murray has now paid tribute to his wife with a funny but sweet Instagram post on her birthday. “She managed to top the mum/wife rankings for another year despite her potty mouth,” he wrote, adding: “Happy birthday”.
