She looked stunning in a white wedding dress featuring a long train while Simon put on a smart display in a dark green suit.

In her caption, the former reality star - who these days works as a radio presenter - gushed, "Wooo hooo, well we done it!

"Simon was feeling so weak and rough after his chemotherapy a few days ago infact he was asleep up until an hour before the wedding, but he done it, we done it and I am very proud to be his wife, Mrs Drew. We will keep each other strong forever."

Earlier this month, Katrina devastated her followers when announcing she and Simon were both battling the disease and undergoing chemotherapy.

She has opened up about her health battles over the years.

Katrina fought life threatening cancer on eight occasions within a 22-year battle, with her last bout being in May 2013.

She lost a kidney, her spleen, part of a lung, part of her diaphragm, half her stomach, her gallbladder and 70 per cent of her liver, but has never given up.

As of 2023, she has used her expert airline knowledge to bag a job as a presenter on Travel radio.
