Revealing she is still not back to full health after two years of treatment, she said: ‘There are still moments where I’ll do something and it hits home that it happened. I’m not 100 per cent better yet, physically or mentally.’
However, she did admit that marriage marked a new, much more positive chapter of her life – helping her look forward to the future, despite her injury.
‘It’s like we’re opening up a new book. We’re excited about the future and have loads to look forward to,’ she said.
‘We’re ambitious, love to travel and we’re still bedding into our new house… and we’d love a family so who knows. Watch this space!’
