The airline's ATR 72 G-VZON was the unusual setting for a marriage blessing between Adam Ledner and Bianca John in the skies high above the west country, with Aurigny's media relations manager acting as civil celebrant.

It features in the first episode of the new series of the programme, which sees the groom provided with a budget of £14,000 (according to Sky 1) to organise all aspects of the wedding in three weeks, without the bride having any control or knowledge.

But it was not all plain sailing a happy in the lead-up to the big day in this case, with Bianca, who was pregnant, left in tears after being given a £140 wedding dress.

Aurigny was approached by email by Mr Ledner earlier this year to ask if the airline could lease them an aircraft and crew for the ceremony.

Aurigny's CEO Mark Darby said: 'We discussed the request and agreed that this was both a fun thing to be involved in and a great way of promoting the Aurigny brand across the UK and beyond.'
