She told The Sun: “We’ve said we would prefer to try for another baby rather than have a big, fancy wedding.

“There are people who will spend £50k on a wedding and you think, oh my God.

“Twice we thought about going to the register office and just doing it and then having a big party.”

The couple met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 and went on to start dating.
