Strictly Come Dancing star postpones wedding following loss
Strictly Come Dancing star Greg Rutherford and his fiancée Susie Verrill have confirmed they are rescheduling their wedding day after a personal loss this month.
The pair first got engaged on a trip to Phoenix four years ago and are parents of three children – Milo, Rex and Daphne.
"Today was meant to be our wedding day..." Greg, who took part in Strictly in 2016, wrote in an Instagram post, re-sharing some photos from his engagement to Susie.

"Due to the loss of someone so close and important we postponed the big day – In typical fashion the UK weather is going to be perfect... we're a bit miffed.
"But we get to plan it all again and hopefully really put together exactly what we want. @susiejverrill I know today will be frustrating, but I love you so much and we'll have an even better wedding when we finally manage to do it."

Verill also posted on her Instagram Stories to thank followers for their kindness.
"Thank you for all your lovely messages this weekend," she wrote, alongside a photo of two of the couple's children playing outside in the sun.
"I took the entire time off social media and it was wonderful. We might not have got married, but we enjoyed the sunshine at Milo's football game early Saturday."
She added that their weekend was still "very wholesome, enjoyable and good for the soul".
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
