It's trash tv but I love it :D

[Hannelene]

It is trash TV but it is so watchable! Some of the weddings are OTT no one seems to do simple weddings anymore

[Hannelene]

The one I will always remember is the episode where one of the brides to be was a lap dancer that show will always stick in my mind

Former Coach Trip couple Ivy Pink and Graham Winston-Peters have held a naturist wedding.

The pair's ceremony will be screened on Living reality series Four Weddings tonight. Pink, 30, will be shown saying her vows "with only a bouquet covering her modesty".

Winston-Peters and Pink have frequently described themselves as the "perfect reality TV couple" and have applied to appear on Big Brother on several occasions. Aside from Coach Trip, they have also appeared on A Place In The Sun, Embarrassing Bodies and All Star Mr and Mrs.

Four Weddings returns at 9pm tonight on Living.

:lol::lol:

It's easy to forget now, but pop dance collective Steps were pretty massive between 1997 and 2001 (15 million records, a Brit Award, 14 top five singles). H, Lee, Lisa, Claire and Faye took slick Pete Waterman tunes and easy-to-learn choreography to the masses and toured the world. Following a messy break-up, the group went their separate ways and have been relatively quiet in recent years. With singer Faye Tozer taking part in reality show Celebrity Four Weddings, we caught up with her to find out whether there's any chance of a reunion.

How did you get involved in Celebrity Four Weddings?
"Like most people, I've got an agent and I think the show had been phoning around finding out who was getting married. It just so happened that my wedding was set for December 5 anyway. As we weren't having a private affair and had an OK deal in place, we thought, 'Well let's have a look at what they've done previously and have a long discussion about the family'. I have to say that I'm a big fan of Come Dine With Me and it's along those sort of lines and in the end, I thought, 'Why not?' So we agreed to it."

What can we expect from your wedding?
"Mine was absolutely traditional, straight down the line. Michael is from the North and has a huge family and as Faye from Steps marrying into that family, I didn't want to do anything that would make great nanna jump or anything outrageous. Also, I didn't want to compete. I was very specific that I didn't want to go over the top with entertainment. For me, it was all about the family. It might come across on TV as really boring, but for me it was just perfect. I can see why they put the bunch together, they did it because the difference was huge."

How did your big day compare to the other celebs' ceremonies?
"My wedding was closest to Michelle Marsh's, but she was renewing her vows so it was slightly different. And I mean Pete Bennett's wedding! That was out there. It was like a thing from a Tim Burton movie. It was wacky and out there and fab. It was great fun to go to, but definitely not what I want for my own. It was fun to dip in and out."

Didn't Pete's have a circus theme?
"Pete's said it had a circus theme, but when you walked in there it was Alice In Wonderland, a bunny looking at you. There was a Joker, an Indiana Jones - he found our glasses for us - and it was just jaw-dropping. It made you a bit speechless for five minutes. It was just nuts. There were some fantastic burlesque acts at the end of the night that were completely brilliant as well."

Have you been offered other reality TV work in the past?
"I've got to say, I haven't been offered the right reality show to do. I've been in theatre for six or seven years now and I've had to work from the bottom up. And I don't want to ruin that. To do reality TV these days, it's a big, big gamble. Either you will die a death and people will think you are desperate for work. Or you could be the 0.1 chance that you have success on it and go on to bigger and better things. I've got friends and my old bandmates have done reality TV in the past and nothing has come from it. I think, for me, I'd rather be singing on stage than on camera and having my personality edited and scrutinised. Whether that is a vanity thing, I don't know, but I don't want to jeopardise my career by making a fool of myself on telly."

Are you still friends with the rest of Steps?
"Yes, we are actually. I would say that we are probably closer friends now than when we were together because we have more in common. There is water under the bridge from back in the day and we are very supportive of each other. The girls have got kids now, so that makes it important to stay in touch. It's not something that we can brush aside because the band was such a huge part of our lives. We got together just after Christmas, end of January, and all had dinner around Claire's. It was really lovely."

It's really nice that you all still get on...
"Don't get me wrong, it wasn't like that all the way through. Back in the day, H and I used to clash hideously personality-wise. And after the band split, that was really tough for all of us to decide what really happened and what we went on to next. It's really lovely to have that bond back again though, because only us five went through that experience. It's lovely to have them around again."

Do you get offered deals to reunite for one-off shows and tours?
"When one person gets an email from a telly person or company, we all send it to each other and discuss it as a team together, which is nice. And no, we're not getting back together to answer your next question. It's not in the pipeline."

Do you have fond memories of the music you made?
"It's a funny one because when you are actually in it, we didn't really see what was happening or what the music was like. The only album we were allowed to write on was the third one Buzz, so it's somebody else's music and I considered it just another job. Now I listen to the music with fond memories and I think it was fun. We are proud of our Brit Award and standing on the Wembley stage - we achieved a lot. And I guess we ended on a high note, whether it was the way everybody wanted it to end or not. We had a good run and we were one of the last acts to make money out of pop and be given large financial backing, so I think we were also very lucky."

Did you watch your old mentor Pete Waterman's latest comeback on Eurovision?
"Oooh, I had so many texts and Facebook messages about that. I thought it was a shocking TV show. So shocking it was almost watchable. I felt sorry for the contestants because they didn't feel confident enough to perform live, but that wasn't their fault, it's the people who picked them. But I've never been a big fan of Eurovision and I think that's where I should leave it. We've been asked to [do it] a million times. Before and after we broke up. The idea is hideous, so it's absolutely not going to happen. That's my shout anyway."

Celebrity Four Weddings airs on Monday at 9pm on Living
