Nadia Sawalha plans 'sober' wedding renewal

Nadia Sawalha is planning a "sober" wedding renewal in Cornwall.

The \'Loose Women\' star - who married Mark Adderley in 2002 - had arranged to renew her vows in a romantic ceremony in Greece this year before the coronavirus pandemic put paid to their trip, and the pair will now mark their love in the UK while celebrating her husband\'s 16-year sobriety.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "What we thought we might be able to do is go to Greece and do it in a nice villa on the beach. But I think what we\'re going to do now is do it in one of our favourite places on earth and that is Cornwall.

"My husband has been 16 years sober, which at weddings can be very, very tough sometimes. So what I want to do is, I want to have a tee-total wedding. I don\'t want to drink anything."

Nadia - who has kids Kiki, 12, and Maddy, 17, with Mark - had asked her husband to remarry her during a podcast shortly after Valentine\'s Day earlier this year, because their wedding was planned by her mum and sister Dina whilst she was pregnant.

She previously said: "We actually were really busy and we handed over completely to my mum and my sister Dina, who were amazing and gave us the most beautiful wedding, which was very traditional in a lot of ways.

"We have always talked about it and how it would be amazing to do it again and get nice photos. I didn\'t like the photos because I was pregnant and all of that stuff. So I thought we could just do something really nice for us, and just decide everything together."

The couple celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary on Wednesday (03.06.20), and Nadia, 55, thinks it would be "nice" to have a booze-free party in honour of her husband.

She added: "Mark never minds me drinking, he\'s always happy for me to have a drink. But I think it would be really nice if I could have a totally sober day - no drink, with just family, although I don\'t know what my family will say."
