Ade told Hello! at the time: ‘Everyone says it’s the best day of your life but it was probably better than that. 

The sports pundit said: ‘She looked so so beautiful. My eyes started watering, and quite a few of my friends turned their faces away as they didn’t want to start crying, too.’

The ceremony was watched by 170 friends and family members. 

Ade earned an MBE in 2005 for services to disability sport, which gave him the right to marry at the cathedral.
