Mr Stafford became the first man known to have walked the length of the Amazon river from source to sea after an incredible 859-day, 6,000-mile trek in 2010. The feat was televised and Mr Stafford has since gone on to present TV shows of his own.

His new wife is best known for a 7,000km charity cycle ride across South America with no money earlier this year.

After the ceremony at St Michael & All Angel’s church the couple went back to their house in Hallaton for a reception with 200 guests.
