Former ‘Coronation Street’ star Kate Spencer has married her fiance Paul Walker.

The 30-year-old actress - who played Grace Vickers on the ITV soap - and the professional boxer tied the knot on Saturday (25.06.22).

In a romantic Instagram post following their wedding, Kate wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "The morning after the day before, and the 23rd hour of being Mr and Mrs Walker."

Alongside another snap of clear blue skies, the actress wrote on her Instagram Story: "Woken up to this beaut on my Wedding Day. The view from my childhood bedroom window never gets old."

Kate previously announced her engagement to Paul on social media, admitting she didn't have any hesitation in accepting his proposal.

The actress explained that Paul proposed during dinner and she described the sportsman as her best friend.

She said at the time: "After the Tomahawk steak, before the Tiramisu, and with a coffee in hand, he turned me into an absolute blubbering mess. A million times over, completely and utterly yes #marryingmybestfriend #allofthetears (sic)"

In the build up to their nuptials, Kate revealed her excitement ahead of walking down the aisle.

She wrote: "I cannot wait to marry you."

Kate also took to social media after her hen do, admitting she feels "very grateful" for having so many good people in her life.

The former soap star - who left 'Coronation Street' last December - shared: "Had my hen do, completed on our house and started rehearsals for a banging new show. What a week. Very grateful for the humans around me."
