"His aunt and uncle were marking 50 years of marriage! Wow! What an achievement! [clinking glasses emoji] The venue was beautiful and most of all, it was SO good to see the family again after so long. I love a family do!"

Martine shares her son Rafferty with her husband Jack McManus – a singer-songwriter from West Wickham. The lovebirds wed on the shores of Lake Como in September 2012 before welcoming their son in February 2015.

At the time, Martine said: "We are best friends as well as lovers and totally supportive of one another. We feel that we can conquer anything the world throws at us as long as we have each other, and that's a rare thing.
