Amy and Toby’s history
Amy has played Tracy in Emmerdale since 2014, while Toby portrayed evil Gray Atkins in EastEnders from 2019 to 2022.
They have been a couple since 2020 after a chance meeting in the audience of Strictly Come Dancing in 2019. The couple then officially married in Montenegro in August 2023 after being together for three years.
At the time, the wedding was featured in OK! magazine and Amy said: “It was honestly the most perfect day. It surpassed all my expectations and more. I felt so surprisingly present on the day and loved every second. Now I’m just in pure bliss.”
The ceremony itself took place at the Talici Hill Rustic Villas, a 17th-century property the couple fell in love with during a whirlwind visit to the country eight months prior.
Amy’s brother walked her down the aisle and then handed her over to her dad, who is battling incurable cancer and was unsure if he would make the ceremony beforehand.
“My brother handed me over to my dad, who walked me down the last bit,” Amy revealed. “He knows he only has a certain amount of time left, so it was important for him to be there. It’s a cancer you can’t cure, but you can live with it and he’s doing well fighting it,” she said.
