Both brides were joined by their mothers Carole Fox and Jorunn Olsen, as well as Olsen's sons Adam and Noah.

She and Olsen became engaged in February 2020.

Fox recently confirmed she is due to have surgery to remove a lump from her vocal chords.

The 80s pop star revealed she had undergone a cancer scare after doctors found the 10mm lump.

Fox told GMB: “I've got an operation on my throat coming up very very soon and I'm getting a lot of messages off people who are very worried because they're not sure whether it's sinister or not.

“So I'd just like to say to my fans out there, I'm having it done.
