The couple exchanged vows in an intimate celebration in Eccleston, Lancashire, surrounded by close family and friends.

Lucy and Jonathan have been together for several years, keeping their relationship private despite her public career.

She posted about the special touches she included on the day, telling her followers on Instagram: “A very special bridal bouquet … white roses as groom is from Yorkshire.

“And one secret flower that was my Dad’s favourite so he was there when I walked up the aisle.”

She added: “Later, in a quiet moment I left it where I scattered my parents’ ashes many years ago.”

Friends and colleagues flooded social media with well-wishes, as one said: “Aw how lovely. Simple elegance. Brought a tear to my eyes the bouquet xx.”

Lucy has been a familiar face on ITV for over three decades, joining Granada Reports in 1988.

Known for her warm yet professional presenting style, she’s become a staple in British news broadcasting.

She now works as an event host, a media trainer and she is a chancellor at Salford University.

The host of ITV’s flagship news programme quietly bowed out after almost four decades at the channel in April.

The host of ITV’s flagship news programme said: “This has been one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made. 

“But the time is right to move on now. For me it has always been the best job in the world, with the best people in the world, in the best region in the world!

“I am very grateful that I was given this job so many years ago.

“I have always tried my hardest to make a positive contribution and I hope I will be remembered with some fondness in the years ahead.”

She added: “It has been a complete honour and privilege to serve the people of this region and I will always have the interests of the North West at heart.

“A big thank you to all the people who have appeared on the programme over the years, sometimes when they have been facing some very tough challenges.”

Lucy began her broadcasting career at Tyne Tees TV with the Miners strike in 1984. 

Since then she has become a hugely respected presenter and journalist in the North West since 1988. 

Joining back in the days of Granada Television Lucy worked on a remarkable variety of programmes, including UpFront, The Late Debate, The Main Ingredient, Origin Unknown, Hearts and Minds and This Morning from Liverpool. 

Lucy added: “I’d also like to say a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful people who I have worked with in more than 40 years in TV and thank you to our viewers who have been kind enough to invite us into their homes.”

She ended her goodbye, saying: “It’s been the best gig for 36 years and as I move on I will be the first to congratulate my successor and wish them, Gamal and the Granada Reports team all the very best for the future. Good night and thank you for watching.”
