Speaking previously about planning the wedding, the 34-year-old said: 'While I'm feeling fit and healthy, and looking the way I do, I want to go and enjoy a celebration and marry the man I love. 'We will have a wonderful day, but I'm going to have a busy few months of planning a really quick turnaround for a wedding, we'll be choosing the venues, picking a band. 'A celebration of life is what I want and I hope that that's also what comes through in my book [My Greatest Race] is that hope that we can all have, even in our darkest hour.'
