Mark, 36, who has been married to Michelle since 2015, explained how they met, saying: “Sort of just similar circles, really.

“Then I think the first time was at an event together. We were both attendees at the X Factor and we were in the green room backstage and it was her and her mum and me and my cousin.”

He continued: “We got talking and I think it was about three days later, we ended up being on a table next to each other at a Manchester United charity dinner.
