Charley then went on to pay the sweetest tribute to her sister in honour of a special occasion, writing: "Happy birthday to my best friend and sister. Thank you for being everything."

The Emmerdale actress and her husband didn't let anyone in on their plans before they got married, not even their children.

Two years after the ceremony, Matthew melted fans' hearts when he shared an adorable photo to Instagram that showed the loved-up couple's eldest two sons' shock just after the announcement that they were at their parents' wedding.

He captioned it: "One of my favourite pictures EVER. The moment we announced to a room full of our friends and family that the "30th birthday party for Charley" they were at was actually our wedding! Buster and Bowie had absolutely no idea. The boys' faces caught on camera are priceless."

The pair welcomed Buster in 2010 and Bowie in 2015, while their youngest son Ace was born in 2019.
