“At the moment he’s the one giving a lot more.”

Nadiya told The Sun: "We're married Islamically but we've never done the proper vows here."

Nadiya penned: "Nothing fancy just love. No frills. Just us. We did it again. I do. I always will. I would do it all over again".
Abdul responded: "You can't run away from me now. I love you to infinity and beyond."
