They announced the pregnancy in December, when Aston told OK! magazine: “Every December, we try and do a JLS family Christmas thing with all the kids, but it was a bit earlier this year at Rochelle [Humes] and Marvin’s.

“Everyone has been asking about the wedding, so we said, oh guys, funnily enough, we’ve got a save the date.”
