Balamory star renews wedding vows to actor husband on-screen to mark 25th anniversary
A BALAMORY star has renewed her wedding vows to her actor husband as they marked their 25th anniversary.
Jules Wilson Nimmo looked stunning as she stood on the altar with a beaming smile for the ceremony.
The actress, 53, played fan-favourite character Ms Hoolie in Balamory but looked worlds away from the preschool teacher.
She and her Still Game star husband Greg Hemphill tied the knot once again during the new series of their BBC show.
The keen swimmers tour the best spots to have a dip in freezing cold waters across Scotland for the show, fittingly called Jules and Greg’s Wild Swim.
During an episode, they renewed their vows at the Orkney chapel – a popular tourist attraction in Shetland.
A priest told them: “Just as the chapel was lovingly crafted, you have built a life together.
“Twenty-five years ago, you made promises to each other. I invite you to recall the vows you made on your wedding day.”
Jules and Greg got hitched in Las Vegas in 1999 on a hot air balloon as they overlooked the Navada skyline.
Speaking about Greg’s proposal, Jules recalled: “I actually thought he’d fell over because we’d had a few drinks
“But then I turned round and he was on his knee and he said, ‘Do you want to get married here?'”
Meanwhile, last year Greg spoke honestly about how Viagra had been “magic” for his marriage to his TV star wife.
He initially went to see doctors after becoming a flop in between the sheets.
Greg said: “I remember the first time I ever happened across this wonder drug Viagra and it was magic.
“I’ve got plenty to say about this goddamn thing.
“I went to the doctors, I said hey doctor how you doing? So I was having sex last night and it didn’t, didn’t…and he went ‘ah’.
“He knew right away what I was talking about and I think in that moment I stumbled into the great unsaid between men and women.”
