Julia Bradbury opens up on TV wedding as she admits 'it was perfect'

Channel 5's Julia Bradbury has revealed her involvement in an idyllic TV wedding while hosting Today At The Great Yorkshire Show.

Julia teamed up with co-presenter Jules Hudson to host the programme, which is scheduled to air on Channel 5 on Thursday, 10 July, capturing all the action from Harrogate's showground. They were joined by a special guest, Peter Wright from Yorkshire Vet.

Engaging in a thrilling assignment for the broadcast, Julia fearlessly scaled an 80-foot telegraph pole to share what she described as the show's "most romantic" narrative yet.

The story involved Peri Dunford and Mark Jones, who became engaged at the 2024 Great Yorkshire Show. In an unconventional proposal, Peri popped the question to Mark while he was perched high upon the telegraph pole during his climbing competition.

Julia exclaimed: "I decided to climb the pole as I wanted to immerse myself in what the most romantic story of The Great Yorkshire Show, I'm out of breath but it was worth it."

Peri and Mark, hailing from Garstand near Preston, celebrated their wedding at this year's event, gracing our screens with tender scenes set to be featured in the episode, reports the Express.

The couple's wedding stood out in true Yorkshire fashion, as their workhorses Tyne and Stinot donned bridesmaid roles, and television personalities Bradbury and Hudson had the honour of witnessing their vows.

After attending the ceremony, Julia enthused, "I just love a wedding it was perfect," with both her and Jules enjoying their roles as special guests.

Peri, glowing as a bride, shared: "It's been fantastic, we love the show and just wanted to get married here, it seemed like the perfect place with our horses."

Rachel Coates, director of The Great Yorkshire Show, expressed her delight about a wedding held at the event: "Although this is not the first wedding we have hosted during the show it is in a unique location in the forest which is completely appropriate for a couple with such strong links to the forestry section."

She added: "We are honoured that they have chosen this space to tie the knot and wish them a long and happy future together."

The ceremony was graced by other television personalities too, including Rob and Dave Nicholson from Cannon Hall Farm, known for their appearances on Springtime on the Farm.

The programme also features Julia's journey into the world of cheese alongside food connoisseur Nigel Barden, while Jules investigates the machinery sector.
