Charlotte Riley and Tom Hardy are a fan-favourite couple in the entertainment industry, having captured the hearts of viewers – and each other – ever since starring as Cathy and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights (2009).

In an interview with The Times, Charlotte recalled the moment she met her "cheeky-chappy" husband, confessing: "He made me a really decent cup of tea. Strong. There's not much point if the spoon doesn't stand up."

"And he told me that his mother was northern," she added. "So I thought, all right then. When somebody can give as good as they get, you know you're in for a good time."

A year after meeting, Tom proposed, and the pair tied the knot in 2014 in an intimate ceremony that reportedly took place at the 18th-century French castle, Château de Roussan.
