Denise wore Princess Diana-style wedding dress with puff sleeves, a ruffled neckline and a full A-line skirt with a leaf-print hem, which concealed any bump she may have had at the time.

Next to a throwback snap, she wrote: "It was the most unconventional wedding ever! Me 'up the duff' - loads of @mark_adderley's exes being there... everyone being issued with a vodka miniature and rose-tinted glasses at the ceremony... it was a HOOT!!!"
