Speaking on This Morning today, Holly said: “It was the most beautiful day. [Fearne] was the most beautiful bride. I just couldn’t look at her.

“I was with Leigh Francis and he said exactly the same thing as me. It was almost like you couldn’t look at her without crying, because she was so full of happiness and love.”

Despite the fact that Fearne and Holly are best friends, she admitted it took her a while to go up and say ‘hello’, because she was so taken aback.

Holly continued: “She was just scarily beautiful that day. She was amazing. It took us ages to go up and say ‘hello’ because I didn’t want to touch her, because she was so beautiful.”

The happy occasion meant the friends shed more than a few tears together, with Holly adding: “I just kept crying constantly. I didn’t want to make her cry [as well] because I didn’t want to ruin her make-up – but we both had a bit of a blub!”
