Personal Life
Ure resides in the village of Box, Wiltshire near Bath. Ure has been married twice: to actress and writer Annabel Giles (with whom he has one daughter, Molly) and to Sheridan (Sherri) Forbes (with whom he has three daughters, Kitty, Ruby and Flossie). Ure's two main passions are music and cooking. He was able to indulge the second of these in the 2007 Celebrity MasterChef series, winning his heat and progressing to the final on 15 June, alongside Nadia Sawalha and Craig Revel Horwood. Although all three competitors greatly impressed the judges, the trophy was won by Sawalha.
Ure is a recovering alcoholic; something he openly admits and discusses in his autobiography If I Was.
He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Bath in December 2010.

“A thoroughbred business man cannot enter heartily upon the business of life without first looking into his accounts.”
