Then in 2019, the couple went through a life-changing challenge when Jonny was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Lynn explained: “We’ve been on quite a rollercoaster in the last five years. Jonny has been amazing through it all and our love for each other has only been strengthened in the face of this adversity.

"In August this year after a positive MRI review, we decided to celebrate by getting married! We’ve also – in a surprise plot twist! -made it through to the final stages of a competition to win a wedding at The Sheddings, Glenarm Castle.”
