It comes as Nicky renewed his wedding vows with wife Georgina last year after 20 years of marriage.

The couple who met when they were just 12 years old hosted the celebration of their nuptials at their Dublin home.

Nicky told fans the news by posting photos of the celebration on Instagram, writing: "Summer House Party and we tied the knot again!!"

The loved-up couple got married in France on 5 August 2003, with the wedding party including Nicky’s brother Adam, Georgina’s author sister Cecelia, and her father Bertie.

The star-studded wedding at the Church of St Peter and St Paul in the picturesque village of Gallardon in France was attended by the likes of Girls Aloud stars Nadine Coyle and Kimberley Walsh, as well as Ronan Keating, Kerry Katona, Louis Walsh, and Yvonne Connolly.

Earlier this year, Nicky highlighted their 20th wedding anniversary on Instagram as he shared a throwback video from their special day.

The video showed the newlyweds both dressed in white leaving the church while being showered in confetti followed by Boyzone star Ronan singing I Love The Way You Love Me alongside a piano in church.
