'I married a traveller - what he says goes and he doesn't like me going out without him'

A woman who gave up her old life to marry into one of the most high-profile traveller families in the UK says she is no longer able to go out without her husband.

It's 'what he says goes' for Holly Joyce, 27, and her traveller husband, Dougie, 34, as they firmly believe in a more traditional, or historic, type of family.

The couple met online in September 2019, after liking each other's pictures on Instagram and eventually started chatting over direct message. The couple agreed to meet in March 2020 at San Carlo's restaurant in Manchester, and after just a few hours, Dougie said he knew he would "marry this woman."
