‘I was admitted as there was a concern my plancenta [sic] was detaching, and within minutes of being admitted I was told there’s a chance I will be in theatre by the end of the day.

Nicola admitted the wedding plans had to be rejigged due to Covid-19 restrictions at the time, with the ceremony being planned in just six weeks.

Charlie proposed with a dazzling diamond ring during a trip to Ibiza in September 2020.

Nicola has previously praised her ‘very normal’ husband after being introduced by her Made In Chelsea co-star ex-boyfriend Alex Mytton, 31.

She said: ‘Charlie isn’t in the reality world. He’s a very normal guy. He has a recruitment company in the city. He’s a lovely guy.’

In his wedding speech, Charlie said: ‘The story of our beginning is somewhat hazy as we were heavily intoxicated, well I was anyway, obviously.

‘But through the haze, I distinctly remember Nicola coming up to me and started speaking with me, I had no idea what was going on, is this happening? Is she really chatting me up? I couldn’t believe it, I was so lucky to be in that situation.’

‘Despite how drunk I was after drinking half of my gin and tonic, I will never forget those piercing blue eyes looking at me and from that moment I already knew I’d started falling for you or falling on you, I can’t remember.’

Nicola rose to fame on E4’s Made in Chelsea in 2015, which she joined the cast as ex Alex’s then-girlfriend.

She left the show in 2016, after the relationship broke down after alleged acts of infidelity from Alex, who ended their romance via text.
