"It’s been a right royal mess, but we’ll get there eventually, and hopefully our house will be renovated by then and the gardens will have grown.
"We want to get married at the house so it’s important to get all that sorted before we do it.

"I have said that I’ll be going up the aisle on a Zimmer frame, but with Jonathan joining the ambulance service, at least I’ll be looked after!
"There’s a little bit of method in the madness!"
