The Escape to the Country star celebrated her 22nd wedding anniversary

Nicki looked beautiful in a red blouse, cropped jeans and nude sandals while her husband and music executive Dave was dressed in a white and red Iron Maiden shirt – a nod to the England colours and his work.

Fans rushed to congratulate the couple on their wedding anniversary, as well as comment on Dave's choice of outfit!

Ruth Langsford was amongst the first to write: "Happy Anniversary love birds!" while another fan added: "Like the Maiden England top." A third remarked: "Wishing you Both Happy Anniversary. Love his Iron Maiden shirt."

Nicki shared a throwback photo from her wedding day 

For her big day, Nicki looked beautiful in an elegant wedding dress with an embellished bodice and full skirt, which she paired with silk gloves and a sparkling hairband. The TV star shared a rare photo of her bridal outfit to mark International Women's Day in 2020, tagging Syon Park.

Described on the website as "one of the last great houses of London", Syon boasts a Great Conservatory and 40 acres of gardens so we imagine it made a breathtaking wedding location. It has even been the filming location for the likes of Poirot, Downton Abbey and Killing Eve.
