Hollyoaks star Stephanie Waring has secretly married her boyfriend, Tom Thornton-Brookes, in a lavish Maldives ceremony, after dating for four years. The impromptu wedding, planned in just four weeks, was a private affair with no guests present but included a touching FaceTime call with Waring's daughters. Waring, who played Cindy Cunningham on the show for almost three decades, made an 'impromptu' decision to tie the knot while on holiday, expressing that 'it felt right.' The couple exchanged personal vows and incorporated traditional and island customs into the ceremony, walking down the aisle to Disney's 'Love is a Compass.'
