While I'm A Celebrity's Giovanna Fletcher is famous in her own right - selling thousands upon thousands of books and hosting the immensely popular Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast - she also has a very famous husband: McFly's Tom Fletcher. But the pair didn't meet at some showbiz party or red carpet event - they met long, long before either of them had brushes with fame.

And honestly, their love story is like something out of a fairytale.

The couple met when they were both 13, while they were attending Sylvia Young Theatre School in London. And because Giovanna's surname was Falcone (yes, Giovanna is related to TOWIE's Mario Falcone), the pair ended up sitting next to each other - and, after becoming friends, their friendship later turned romantic.

And the rest is history... But, wait, the story gets more perfect. You know the 2004 McFly hit All About You? That was a Valentine's Day present for Giovanna. Later, in 2011, Tom popped the question - asking his girlfriend to marry him at the assembly hall where they first met. (See, we told you it got more romantic.)

Tom and Giovanna married a year later in 2011, and of course, McFly performed at the reception. But that was not the most notable event of the day. Tom's wedding speech - or should we say song - went viral, and almost a decade later, now has a whopping 21 million views. Understandably nervous about giving such a big speech, Tom instead decided to stick to what he knows best: writing a song. Singing over the top of an old hit, he changed the words to: 'Recently I've been having a wedding. I've married this girl who's out of this world, believe me. We are so grateful to so many people. But we're saying thank you to only a few, so sorry...' (You can watch the speech below - but we're warning you, get the tissues ready.)

Guests included obviously Tom's bandmates Harry Judd, Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones. Emma Willis was also there, and Kara Tointon was a bridesmaid. And star of the day Giovanna wore a stunning white strapless Phillipa Lepley dress with lace detailing. Certainly a day to remember.
