Popstar Louis, who is set to play Jamie in a movie based on the player’s incredible rise to sporting glory, said of the planned film: "It's a golden opportunity. Jamie's story is incredible – he’s incredible".

"He's a lovely guy, very easy going and such a great example for anyone who thinks they can’t follow their dreams," the keen football enthusiast, who attended with his pretty American actress girlfriend Danielle Campbell, said.

"For a football fan, any kind of involvement in a story like Jamie's is exciting."

Bride Rebekah stunned guests in a beautiful Caroline Castigliano gown on the big day, in a ceremony at which her and Jamie’s daughter Sofia, 19 months, was a flower girl.

Jamie told HELLO! seeing his little girl and then his bride walking down the aisle made him very emotional.

"I'd been holding it together so well until that point but when I saw Sofia's little face as she was walking down towards me, I felt myself starting to go," Jamie said. "Then I saw Becky coming towards me and she just looked so incredible, I felt my composure going again. I knew she’d look amazing but it was more than I could ever have pictured."

Rebekah also paid tribute to her new husband, saying: "I'm so proud of him and of what he's achieved, but most of all I'm proud of the man he is. He's the most brilliant father and partner and I know he is going to be the best husband I could wish for.

"He's not one for grand romantic gestures, but I don't need that. He shows his love in the ways that matter, by being there for me and the kids and making me feel loved."
