Speaking on Loose Women, she said that they are holding off for a year until they know where they stand with planning and guests.

While it's not known if they have a date in mind, the stars are hopeful 2022 will bring them the wedding they want.

Loose Women star Jane Moore asked how the wedding planning was going after originally talking about dates last year.

Sally replied: "I think personally I'm not sure where we are gonna be in December, the way things have been dealt with.

"So I didn’t wanna risk arranging a wedding.... we want to have a party so if there’s only 15 people allowed to come to that, it's not great really.

"So I thought it was best we defer it for a year and hopefully get the wedding we want."
