Guests are said to be welcomed after the ceremony at a reception at a private split-level bar in north London, which features a pub with a Venetian chandelier and a heated rooftop terrace.

Michelle revealed on social media in April that Mike popped the question during a hike to Temescal Canyon in Los Angeles — a decade after the pair first met.
She told her Instagram followers: “So that’s what happened in #la, he fell to a bent knee while we were at the top of #temescalcanyon, basically no one else around.
“It’s #beautfiul and I’m #happy #10 years this April I think (sic).”

The actress previously hit out at critics over the 22-year age difference between the duo and was frustrated at being branded a “cougar”.
Michelle – who has also appeared in Coronation Street and Doctor Who – said in 2018: “Mike is 22 years my junior and I’m seen as a predator. This drives me crazy. People call him my toyboy beau. He’s almost 35, for God’s sake.
“The other day he turned to me and said, ‘Sure I’m not still your toyboy, am I?’
“I’m laughing about it now, but it’s annoying. And I hate that word cougar. I can not stand. I find it so demeaning. A cougar is a predator that roams around looking for young flesh. I’m definitely not like that.’
