IT WILL be a case of “let the bride see the groom” when a contestant marries the “date” she met while appearing on the hit show Take Me Out.

And for Gemma Gordon, 27, and Gavin Ellis, 28, the year is set to be more memorable as the couple are expecting a baby next month.

The wedding will be a unique occasion for Take Me Out as Gemma and Gavin are set to be the first contestants to tie the knot after finding love on the popular ITV hit show.

Contestant Gemma, who is from Chorley, was “matched” with personal trainer Gavin Ellis, 28, on the fifth series of the show in 2013, thanks to a little help from host Paddy McGuinness.

The pair were whisked away to the Isle of Fernando’s on their date where they found love and moved in together in Chorley a few months later.

Gavin, from Huddersfield, proposed to Gemma in April last year but the couple kept it a secret until now.

With the return of the show for its seventh season last weekend, the couple took the opportunity to announce their happy news.

While on the show, Gemma managed to bag herself a date with fitness fan Gavin after he asked her and another girl to do as many press-ups as they could in a minute. Gemma managed to do 30 and won.

Lancashire Telegraph:

Part-time guitar instructor Gavin, said: “There were 30 girls, but Gemma really stood out to me.”

After the pair had been on their date, Gavin admitted that he was “smitten” and said: “She is a beautiful girl and as soon as I got to know her we just clicked and I felt like there was something special there.”

Just a few weeks before their wedding in March this year, the couple will be expecting the arrival of their first child together – a baby girl.

Gemma’s daughters, Grace, eight, and Olivia, five, will be bridesmaids.

All eyes will be on whether Take Me Out host Paddy McGuinness, who hails from nearby Horwich, will be guest on the big day.
