‘It was very moving’

Speaking to OK! magazine at the National Reality TV Awards UK 2022, Linda described the couple’s wedding as “absolutely amazing”.

She also went on to detail how Joe’s mum, Kiffy, walked him down the aisle in place of his dad.

It was very moving because Joe’s mum walked him up the aisle because he lost his dad a long time ago.

Joe’s father, Ricky, passed away from an undiagnosed heart condition, Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome.

Joe was just 11 years old at the time of his father’s passing.

“It was very moving because Joe’s mum walked him up the aisle because he lost his dad a long time ago,” Linda told the publication.
