They tied the knot in a stunning Mediterranean Villa in Barcelona on Saturday.

But Scott Mills and Sam Vaughan very nearly didn't get their happy ending together after suffering a 'wobble' at the start of their romance.

The BBC Radio 2 host, 51, and producer, 35, who have been dating since 2017, once went six months without speaking after Sam 'put the brakes on'.

Speaking to The Times last year, the now married couple explained that it was Sam's mother who saved their relationship.

Scott recalled falling quickly for Sam, gushing: 'The more time we spent together, the more I could see we were right for each other. I just needed him to see that too.'

However, he explained: 'So when we had the conversation about taking it forward and he said “I’m not ready”, I was devastated.'

The radio DJ explained that the pair went their separate ways and he was left 'in bits' after not speaking for half a year.

Scott said: 'If it wasn’t going to happen, then I needed a clean break. Being friends with someone you’re in love with doesn’t work. 

'We didn’t speak for six months. My mum came to stay because I was in bits, sitting on the sofa crying, eating ice cream.'

But luckily Sam's mother intervened and gave him the courage to go for it, with Scott recounting: 'Meanwhile Sam’s mum was dealing with him. 

'When he sent me a text saying “I miss you”, his mum sat him down and said, “Don’t mess him around. Either go for it or leave him alone.” We moved in together three months before the first lockdown.'

While Sam explained how 'things moved fast' when he and Scott first got together, as he had just ended a three-year relationship and had only come out a few years earlier, at the age of 23.

He said: 'Scott and I hit it off straight away but I found London quite daunting and I didn’t have confidence in my own worth. I thought, “He can go out with anyone at all, why does he like me?”

He admitted: 'I had a bit of a wobble and put the brakes on. Not talking to Scott for six months made me realise I’d made a huge mistake. I missed his company so much. 

'But that time apart also let me work out that Scott liked me for who I was and so I could accept myself too.'

Scott and Sam said 'I Do' at the weekend in front of celebrity guests including Zoe Ball, Rylan Clark, Jordan North, Calvin Harris and wife Vick Hope, with Scott's former co-host Chris Stark providing Master of Ceremony duties.

Reflecting on their nuptials, Scott said: 'We both had the most incredible day. To celebrate with all our close friends and family in Spain was so special. We are looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together.'

Pixie Lott performed during the intimate ceremony, singing How Long Will I Love You as they said their vows, while Calum Scott sung his hit song You Are The Reason.

Scott and Sam said their vows in front of their nearest and dearest against the stunning Spanish backdrop. 

The dashing newlyweds looked dapper in matching black tuxedos and bow ties and wore black-rimmed sunglasses. 

The happy couple were seen joyfully giggling as they said 'I Do' and surprised guests with a magical rainbow display as they shared a kiss after sealing the deal. 

The newlyweds partied into the early hours, enjoying exclusive performances from Sam Ryder and Joel Corry. 

After the ceremony, Rylan shared a glimpse into their big day, sharing snaps on Instagram with Sam Ryder.

DJ Calvin looked smart in a white polo shirt and chinos, while glamorous Vick wore a summery white and yellow rose dress. 

Just before the weekend, Sam shared a post where he clutched a glass of champagne aboard an aircraft.

He wrote: 'Let's jet off to get married then @realscottmills'.

Scott announced the engagement just under three years ago with a heartfelt post on social media where he revealed he 'never thought' he would get married.

He wrote on Instagram: 'Some Happy News! After 4 years together I'm delighted to say we got engaged at the weekend. 

'As @samvaughan89 knows, I always said I didn't think I would ever get married. But then I met you Sam. You make me laugh every single day, you support me in so many ways and I adore everything about you... 

'We've had some amazing times, and I'm bursting with happiness to know we will have so many more. I love you with all my heart.'

Sharing a picture of his engagement ring, Sam wrote on his Instagram page: 'The beginning of forever.

'On Saturday the love of my life asked me to marry him and of course I said yes! I've had the most amazing four years and can't wait to continue our journey!'
