The pair tied the knot in a low key ceremony back in 2003 in front of their nearest and dearest.

The couple have two children, daughter Violet Percy, who was born in 2005, and son Stan Percy, who was born in 2008.
Whilst their children were still young, Cain and Rhona's storylines were filmed at different times so they could share childcare duties.
Speaking about sharing parenting duties, Zoe told Lorraine: "We often do line learning together. This time, Jeff's been amazing. He's just taking the weight of what's going on at home.
"Obviously we've got two kids, two dogs, we've got an allotment and he's just managing all of that. He's about to get busy as I sort of quieten down so we'll swap the baton then."
