Sarah Jayne got plenty of practise as a bride as her Hollyoaks character recently tied the knot on the soap.

However, it was far more dramatic than her own wedding day as Mandy had been cheated on her husband-to-be, Luke (played by Gary Lucy), with Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson).

Then Luke’s long-lost son Oliver arrived at the wedding ceremony to the shock of the couple and their guests!
