Earlier this year, Aston opened up about his and Sarah's plans to marry, revealing that they'd like to finally tie the knot in 2019. Looks like they had something else on their minds.

"We'd like to do it this year. We've just been so busy we haven't had time to organise it before," he told the Belfast Telegraph.

He also revealed at the time that they had plans to expand their family, saying: "We'd love more children but probably not for a couple of years, because we definitely want to enjoy our time as new parents."

He added: "We're using Clearblue's Connected Ovulation Test System to help us monitor Sarah's fertility, so we can plan the timing of our next child."
