Victoria said at the Cheltenham Literature Festival in 2017: “My first official day of living with cancer was Saturday August 1, 2015 and I woke up and I suddenly remembered I’ve got cancer.
“So I got up and went downstairs and Mark is already working at his laptop and I announced to him that I thought we had been together for 15 years and we should get married.
“But I said to him: ‘I do not want you to marry me just because you feel sorry for me.’ He looked at me intently, he’s been married before, and he said with a completely straight face: ‘I think marriage is overrated to be honest.”
His response, she said, “completely broke the tension”, although at the time she remained tight-lipped over the date of their wedding.
Now, the couple of 16-years have tied the knot with a ceremony at their Surrey home, surrounded by family and friends, according to The Sun.
Victoria has previously been given the all clear, following a right-side mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.
Last year, she was hailed as inspirational for conquering her crippling self-doubt following the mastectomy.
Victoria appeared on The Real Full Monty Ladies Night and grew tearful during the all-female celeb group’s first rehearsal of dancing to This Is Me, from The Greatest Showman.
Memories of her breast cancer came flooding back and she almost quit the routine a few times before finally taking to the stage.
She said on the ITV show: “I haven’t cried for ages about having cancer or my body or whatever.

“I could just feel these hot tears because I thought, ‘Oh God, this is so embarrassing, I’m going to cry in front of all these women’.”
Recalling the terrifying moment she was diagnosed with stage-two invasive lobular breast cancer, Victoria revealed: “I thought, ‘Okay, that’s it, my time is up, I am probably going to die.
“‘I’m not going to see my boys grow up, I’m not going to get old with Mark’.”
