They have been married for 17 years after originally tying the knot in 2003.

In the castle tonight Giovanna  was talking about her own wedding to McFly star Tom and asked Vernon if he had ever renewed his wedding vows.

Vernon said: “We have done, we did it in France, about five years ago.

“I booked a weekend in our favourite hotel in the South of France and I spoke to her (Tess’) stylist at the time and I said I needed four dresses.”

He added: “She didn’t know anything. I said I needed four dresses and I gave her a card and it said congratulations on your second wedding day and I said we’re going to renew our vows.

“She said ‘I’ve got nothing to wear’ and I said ‘you say that…pick one’.” 

Vernon continued: “We went to reception and her Mum, my parents, the kids and my brother were waiting and she was like ‘oh my god’ – we had such a lovely day.”

Talking in the Telegraph, Jessica gushed over it saying: “It’s incredible that Vernon arranged in secret the renewal of his vows it’s like a fairy tale.”

 Giovanna added: “Vernon’s story is absolutely romantic and wonderful and thoughtful.  I mean, Tom, if you’re watching…”
