She revealed on her show: “If anyone’s listening, this is my dad and Vicky McClure and they’ve just got married”.
“We’re married,” the bride replied on the programme.
“We’ve had the most amazing special day. We’re gutted that you’ve had to go back but we’re so proud of you for what you’re doing.

“I left after the ceremony, got the train to Central Square and changed out of my wedding dress in the train toilets,” she said.
“It was beautiful, lots of Welsh flags. I left the after-party as everyone was arriving which was hard but worth it when I got to the studio.
“(It) was lush being the first exclusive announcement too on BBC Radio Wales.”
