The TV presenter shared details of her wedding for the first time on New Year’s Eve, posting a photo on Instagram of the couple tieing the knot at Dublin City Hall.

Shunning the traditional wedding gown, Whitmore opted for a chic white suit which she matched with gold platform heels.

Acknowledging that the couple kept their marriage private, Whitmore explained in the caption: “A year ago Iain asked me to marry him and we had the most magical, perfect ceremony. We loved having it to ourselves.

“We had been planning the perfect celebration and I will forever be so thankful that’s what we got.”

She continued: “We have never spoken publicly about our engagement or wedding. Back at the time we never felt the need to say anything as it’s all such a personal experience. We also were too busy enjoying it!

"We’ve never shared this picture before now but a lot of people have contacted us and congratulated us the last month with good intentions so here’s to good news!”

Last month reports emerged that the couple were married in front of 25 guests - which were the maximum allowed by Ireland's coronavirus rules – and had Whitmore's half-brother Adam and Stirling's sister Kirsten as witnesses. 

The happy news comes as the couple – who have been dating since 2017 – announced in November that they are expecting their first child.

Posting a photograph of a Guns N’Roses babygrow on Instagram, Whitmore explained that she has “always tried to be protective” over her personal life.

“A lot of things are just for me and my loved ones and we’ve chosen not to share publicly,” she said.

“However I want to now share good news as it’s our news to share - and I’m gonna be honest it’s starting to look like my lockdown beer belly is out of control.”

Since then Whitmore has shown off her growing baby bump and admitted she had difficulty hiding her “bouts of sickness” while presenting her live radio show, as well as her “penchant for a bowl of mashed potato in the morning.”
