Speaking to OK! in 2020, Dommett revealed all about the ceremony.
He said: “I was fully prepared to say it was the best day of my life and pretend it was — because I’ve been lucky enough to do Bake Off and I’ve had these amazing experiences in my life — but it was genuinely the best day of my life!”

“We are all together, all healthy, all laughing and all ABROAD! Things we all took for granted back then. It’s a bookmark in my life ill never forget. Love you @hannah_cooper_”

In early 2021, the TV presenter told The Sun that he feels “very lucky” and revealed the nicknames they have for one another.
He said: A lot of people call their wives ‘babe’ or ‘chick’. I go for Sexy Sexpot of Sex. But her nickname for me is just Joel. That’s as far as it goes.”
The pair don’t yet have any children, but Dommett previously said that him and Cooper were in no rush to have a baby.
He told OK! magazine: “I think we’re just going to chill for a couple of years and see what happens.”
