Marisa, who enjoyed a boozy hen do last month with her pals, tied the knot with Jamie on Saturday.

The happy couple opted for a theme of Hollywood glamour, and thought the Firle Place in East Sussex made the perfect venue for this.

Speaking to Vogue on her big day, Marisa revealed: “Things really fell into place once we found our ceremony and dinner locations.

“We wanted to lean into our love of classic, nostalgic romance with our ceremony.”

She added: “Firle Place is such a beautiful home with so much character, and I fell in love with the drama of those big blue doors. 

Marisa made a beautiful bride and went for classic silk wedding dress which took over 250 hours to make.

The gown, which was designed by Emilia Wickstead, oozed elegance and had a constructed corset and draped off the shoulder.

Speaking about her dress, she told the fashion magazine: “We are both theatrical.

“And we don’t shy away from a touch of drama when it feels appropriate, so I knew I wanted my wedding dress to feel like a real moment.”

Talking about her choice of designer, she added: “Emilia creates dresses with such timeless elegance that I knew she would understand my references immediately,”

GETTING ENGAGED

Marisa is well known for starring in the Amy Winehouse movie, Back To Black.

And in a nod to the Amy, Marisa’s new husband popped the question in one of the late singer’s favourite places.

It came after he chose Primrose Hill to get down on one knee, which is nearby to the Rehab star’s beloved Camden.

Jamie asked Marisa to marry him in July, 2024, and sharing the moment at the time on Instagram he joked: “She said she’ll think about it!”

BECOMING A STAR

Marisa first found fame as posh and seductive investment banker Yasmin in sex-fuelled BBC drama Industry.

This then led to her being cast in the Sam Taylor-Johnson directed Amy Winehouse movie Back To Black last year.

Before finding fame Marisa was set on becoming a human rights lawyer, and accepted a place at University College London to study history.

But she turned it down in favour of a spot at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) – which in turn led to her meeting Jamie.

She told Vogue: “We were best friends throughout the course, and Jamie finally asked me out when we were graduating in 2019.

“We’ve been together ever since.”

CALL The Midwife has been axed by the BBC.

The show is set to end after series 15 in 2026, with the cast already filming their final scenes.

The Daily Star reports that bosses want the show to “go out on a high”.

A source told the publication: “After years of drama and countless births, Call The Midwife is coming to an end. The team have decided it’s time to draw the show to a close and bow out.

“This is the last we’ll see of these much-loved characters. Storylines will tie up a lot of loose ends.”

The show will return to screens in January 2026 for the final run of episodes.

GRANTCHESTER fans are thrilled as the hit ITV drama is officially returning for an 11th series – with filming set to kick off in just a few weeks’ time.

The long-running detective show, known for its gripping storylines and charming village setting, will once again follow the crime-solving duo as they tackle new mysteries in the 1960s countryside.

Crime-busting stars Robson Green and Rishi Nair are also back.

The duo will return as DI Geordie Keating and Reverend Alphy Kottaram for series 11.

Fan favourites Al Weaver (Leonard Finch), Tessa Peake-Jones (Mrs C), Kacey Ainsworth (Cathy Keating), and Oliver Dimsdale (Daniel Marlowe) are also back – alongside Nick Brimble, Bradley Hall and Melissa Johns.

In the last series, Geordie and Alphy didn’t just crack cases in the sleepy village – they leaned on each other through emotional family battles and dark personal secrets.

Expect even more twists, tears and turns this time round.

Also this time round, Reverend Alphy finally feels like he’s found his place in Grantchester – but not everything is as settled as it seems.

As old secrets bubble to the surface, Alphy is forced to reckon with parts of his past he’s kept tightly under wraps.

Will he let his guard down and open his heart, or will he be forced to face some hard truths about who he really is first?

Last series also left viewers shocked after they spotted a familiar face when Emmerdale’s Ned Porteous, best known as Joe Tate suddenly appeared on their screens.

Ned was playing the role of Harvey who was convinced his father had been murdered, despite evidence that confirmed it was suicide.

One fan stated: “Joe from #Emmerdale in tonights #Grantchester filmed I guess before he came back as Joe!.”

A second added: “I recognise the actor playing Harvey in #Grantchester as he’s also in #Emmerdale as Joe Tate!”

“That Joe from Emmerdale?” questioned another viewer.

The actor also appeared in rival soap EastEnders as Michelle Fowler’s son Mark in 2019.
