Dancing On Ice’s Brianne Delcourt marries Kevin Kilbane after Covid ruins plans

Dancing On Ice ex-star Brianne Delcourt has married Kevin Kilbane after coronavirus interrupted the pair’s planned big day.

The happy couple – who have known each other less than a year after meeting last October on the DOI set – tied the knot on their intended wedding day, but were forced to abandon most of their plans.

Brianne shared the joyful news on Instagram, posting a picture of the pair dressed up in their wedding outfits and sealing their marriage with a kiss.

“So, today was the day Kevin & I were supposed to be getting married in Ireland. Damn you Covid…, so we celebrated our way …….,” she wrote.

Ex-footballer Kevin then shared the same lovely snap and captioned it: “We celebrated our proposed wedding day anyway.. I love you @brianne_tv.”

The beautiful shots showed the couple embracing by the edge of a body of water, as Kevin gently cupped his wife’s face and planted a kiss on her lips.

Brianne’s new shiny wedding ring could be seen on her left hand, accessorising her lace wedding dress, which featured a plunging back, side cut-outs and a delicate embellished belt.

Her long blonde hair was styled into tumbling waves and she finished off the look with a bracelet and a pair of delicate earrings.

The newlyweds – who appeared not to have any guests with them – then celebrated with glasses of champagne in the warm sunshine.

While neither of them have officially confirmed their marriage, it seems the presence of a ring and photographer was confirmation enough to their fans, who rushed to congratulate the two.

Robbie Keane sent them a love heart on Instagram, while Perri Kiely also sent his love.

“Congratulations to you both, wishing you every happiness,” wrote another follower.

Mirror Online has contacted Brianne and Kevin’s reps for comment.

The couple’s whirlwind romance began on their very first day of training last October, hours after they were introduced.

“A lot of people don’t know this but it was literally the first day,” Brianne told Loose Women in February shortly after they announced their engagement.

“I was actually staying with Kieron Richardson, my very first partner on Dancing on Ice 10 years ago, and we had to train that day and we started talking and Kevin was like, ‘It’ll be easier if you stay with me.'”

While the couple were eliminated from the dance competition, they remained living together and in February – four months after their first meeting – Kevin popped the question at a restaurant.

He presented Brianne, 39, with a £50,000 engagement ring hidden inside her dessert, and dropped to one knee in front of whooping diners to ask her to marry him.

“It happened very quickly. I think we both knew within.. it’s instant,” Kevin admitted on Loose Women.

“When you know, you know… I feel like I’ve known Bri all my life,” he added.

Congratulations, Brianne and Kevin!
