In a message to Xand's wife, Dolly, Gethin continued: "Dynamic @dolitics has the hugest heart, the best sense of humour, an amazing brain, so so kind and is just 100% fun! It's no wonder they are a perfect match. So special to be part of their weekend. (I took maybe 3 photos - says it all, I will find some more!)"

He jokingly added: "When the stag was being organised, Xand told me to take the Monday off cos it would be 'epic'. So I did. He didn’t tell me HE would be on the show. The donut. He’s made me look bad in front of the boss." You can read more on this here.
