The 47-year-old actress has been with partner Eddie Boxshall for seven years, and while they're in no rush to get married just yet, she won't be keeping her nuptials a secret when then do decided to tie the knot.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We will do it at some point. It won’t be anything huge but we’d like all our friends and family there which will be really nice.

"We’ve not planned anything just yet. We’re not bothered about keeping it a secret, we’ll just tell people.

“I totally get why people do that, and I think it’s lovely that Emma and Jade did, but we do want to invite friends and family, so people will know about it!”

Her comments come after it was revealed even Emma Bunton's Spice Girls bandmates didn't know she was getting married to Jade Jones last weekend.

The couple tied the knot after 23 years together, but the nuptials were so low-key, the only people in attendance at Soho Farmhouse were their mothers, sons Beau, 13, and 10-year-old Tate, and two close friends, who served as their witnesses.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Emma and Jade wanted to celebrate with only a handful of people. They kept the whole ceremony secret from everyone but wanted their kids there. Beau was his dad’s Best Man — it was so sweet.

“If they’d had a bigger ceremony, the girls would have been invited but they wanted it to be really intimate.”

But Victoria Beckham - who lives just a mile away from the venue - Geri Horner, Melanie C, and Mel B weren't offended at missing out on the big day.

Another insider said: "The only people at the wedding were their mums and one friend each as a witness.

“In COVID times, there was no other option. But the girls have all been in touch and wished the couple well. It wasn’t a snub.”
