Griffiths, best known for portraying Chlo Grainger, got engaged to Wardle in June last year during a trip to Venice.

Griffiths starred on Waterloo Road between 2006 and 2009, before reprising the role of Chlo in the rebooted series earlier this year.
However, Chlo was shockingly killed off in the first episode of the reboot, leaving her husband Donte devastated.
Discussing what it was like to come back for one episode only, Griffiths said: "It's been hard because there's been a lot of excitement for the show, but I think that was the overriding thing, the excitement for the show coming back because it holds a special place in my heart."
Waterloo Road airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
