The couple's wedding consisted of a small ceremony in London, where David acted as best man and posed for a photo alongside his dad and new stepmother and stepsister.

The retired footballer's sisters and children were also in attendance, with Harper, ten, the youngest of the three bridesmaids, all of whom wore matching blue velvet dresses – perfect for a winter wedding.

Ted and David's mum, Sandra, divorced back in 2002 after 32 years of marriage and he announced his engagement to Hilary in March 2020.
