Olivia explained the touching gesture, admitting they already have everything they need: "Instead of presents, we asked our guests to donate to three charities - Centrepoint[a youth homelessness charity], Mayhew [an animal charity], and Mind in memory of Sophie Gradon."

Olivia previously paid tribute to Sophie, writing on Twitter: "You helped us through so much. Your smile was one in a million. The world failed."

The couple also opened up about the vows they chose, opting for the traditional route.

Olivia said: "We went for traditional vows," but she also revealed they wrote separate vows for each other's eyes only.

"We wrote our own private vows and sent them as love letters to each other in the morning. Obviously, our lives are out there in the public and everyone hears everything, so we thought we'd write ourown secret ones to each other."

Alex added: "I felt like I was at school writing it!"
