In the clip, shot by Galaxy Video, the Loose Women star could be seen enjoying her first dance with her new husband, which was to a live performance of Whitney Houston's My Love is Your Love by Kara Marni. Swaying around the garden of their home, Pickle Cottage, Stacey looked stunning in her glittering bustier gown by Verona Bridal as she shared an intimate moment with Joe, dressed in a chic blue suit.

Both the bride and groom were shedding tears, and Joe could be seen telling Stacey, "I love you, so much."

Stacey explained the meaningful surprise in the caption: "We got to see some of our videos today and it was magical. It's so nice to have had time to remember our wedding in our heads and tell each other our different memories & favourite moments. Then to see it all on video was just the most special feeling ever. Hope this makes your heart happy the way it did us. Joe speaking to me in the middle is my favourite bit.

"My sister found the singer who [sang] the version of this song that I am obsessed with and she booked her to sing us our first dance as a surprise. It was even more incredible live and I cried as soon as I saw it was her @karamarni."

Singer Kara took to the comments section to reveal more details about how she kept her appearance top-secret. She said: "ONLY for u, I would fly home early from holiday to surprise u and sing for ur first dance! Was beyond a pleasure to perform for u guys. S/o @label.lady.1 for doubling up as the secret service helping keep it a secret right until this very special moment! Was worth every second of Jemma hiding me in your bathroom until then! Congrats to you both. Love you loads xxx."

Stacey and Joe weren't the only ones crying over the sweet video – the TV star's friends and fans also shared their thoughts. "Cryyiinnnnggg. Can literally feel the love between you through this," wrote one, and another penned: "This is so beautiful… made my eyes leak, congratulations xx."

A third remarked: "You can just feel the emotions, beautiful x."

Stacey and Joe began dating in 2015 and had planned to tie the knot in July 2021, seven months after Joe popped the question on Christmas Eve.

They delayed their wedding until Sunday 24 July 2022, when they could include all of their children in the celebrations. The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their Essex property in front of Stacey's sons Zachary, 14, and Leighton, ten, and their young children Rex, three, and Rose, nine months.
