Wilson made headlines in 2021 when she was hospitalised with Covid-19 while travelling in Italy for the International Swimming League.

Both took to social media to share photos from the happy occasion on Monday night. 

‘Ending BBL12 thanks for all the messages and support, hopefully bigger things next year,’ Short wrote on Instagram.

‘Deserves the hardest launch,’ Wilson posted alongside a rocket emoji.
