Other notable guests include Laura Whitmore, Iain Stirling and Katherine Ryan.
Finishing touches were seen being made this morning ahead of the pair’s arrival.
Fresh flowers were seen delicately being arranged, name cards placed on the table and the glasses and cutlery were neatly set for the guests.
The couple – who welcomed baby Barney in June 2024 and got engaged in July 2025 – originally wed at a romantic church service before a party in the garden of their Bedfordshire mansion where guests were treated to a McDonald’s from a personalised van parked outside.
Writing on Instagram after downing champagne, a thrilled Emily joked: “Christ, we have fun don’t we. I can’t believe we get to do all that again in a few weeks time.”
Now the party is moving to Mojácar in the Costa Almería, a sentimental spot where the TV fave spent childhood holidays at her musician dad Keith’s old summer pad.
The town’s iconic Mirador viewpoint and two top eateries are being completely shut down for the exclusive star-studded bash.
It’s understood municipal permits have been granted to lock down the historic square, with a source telling the local newspaper: “Around 200 guests are expected, among them well-known faces in cinema and television.” Today (Fri) the square was a hive of activity as staff readied the church and restaurants for the big day.
Workers were seen unloading dozens of crates of beer, wine, spirits and bottles of Cava.
Temporary fridges were also being set up outside in the historic courtyard of the church which is enclosed by stunning ornate sandstone arches.
Emily was seen ducking into the church with her family and entourage at around midday yesterday.
And the happy couple won’t be disappointed with the Spanish weather, with wall to wall sunshine, bright blue skies and 26C temperatures forecast.
Speaking previously about her deep love for the picturesque whitewashed village, Emily gushed: “It’s our favourite place on Earth and we still go every single year. I loved my family holidays there growing up.”
