Nick and Meshach have been together since 2018, with Grimmy sharing the story of how they first met during an appearance on Celebrity Juice last year.
He said they first crossed paths “in the smoking area of a pub on Hackney Road” when Meshach was a “total stranger”.
“Me and my friend were queuing to get in and I saw him and didn’t say anything to my friend and my friend, she was in front of me, so went in and she’s like ‘I’ve literally just seen your husband, that guy, we’ve got to talk to him’,” Nick said.
“I was like, ‘no don’t do it,’ and then she did.”
