The couple were the picture of wedded bliss as they stood hand-in-hand, in front of the beautiful Jacobean mansion.
Slipping into an elegant dress and veil and sporting a loose curled up-do, the brunette looked effortlessly elegant as she posed with her new husband, between two classic cars.
The couple married at St Boniface Church in the gymnast’s home of Bunbury, before hosting a lavish reception at the nearby Dorfold Hall.
A number of famous faces were in attendance, including The One Show’s Matt Baker, while her former Dancing On Ice partner Daniel Whiston acted as the master of ceremonies.

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!’
