The couple decided to get hitched following the introduction of equal marriage in England and Wales last year, and Yeo added that the ceremony had been “worth the wait”.

Speaking to OK! last month about the couple’s wedding plans, Bradshaw-White said: “We’re getting married because we legally can now.
“We know we’re going to grow old together – I don’t want anyone else.”
The 40-year-old also added that she hoped her role as Tina Carter in EastEnders – a character who is currently involved in a budding romance with Natalie Cassidy’s Sonia Fowler – was helping to normalise same-sex relationships for viewers.
“I think it’s absolutely brilliant. Somebody actually tweeted the other day that what they loved about Tina was that she was she was just really normal. They said that it’s lovely to see a lesbian portrayed just like anybody else in the Square.”
