Ben gushed: ‘As soon as I saw Julia, I just knew it was the best day of my life’.
On the party, speaking of her : J: ‘Jack P Shepherd! He and Hanni [Treweek, Jack’s girlfriend] love a good dance. Tina [O’Brien], Nicola [Thorp] and Dan [Brocklebank] came on my hen do, so they knew some of my bridal party already...
'At one point, Tina was trying to do a Dirty Dancing lift with my friend Kylie and Lucy [Fallon, who plays Tina’s on-screen daughter] was shouting: "Mum, no don’t!". It was carnage by the end. It was ace; everyone let their hair down!’
Julia revealed she had told Ben after just one week of dating - as she gushed about knowing from very early on that he was The One.
Ben added: 'We really got to know each other in that week. It was ridiculous, as it was 100 miles an hour. We kind of did nothing but everything at the same time. At the end of the week I remember telling Julia that I loved her.'
