Emily Atack is to marry her husband for a second time this weekend.

The Rivals actress wed her longtime partner Alistair Garner at a Bedfordshire church last month, before heading back to the garden of her nearby home for a party.

But this weekend, the couple are expected to marry again in the Spanish village of Mojacar.

According to the Daily Mail newspaper, Almeria publication La Voz de Almeria reported: "Emily got married recently in church with scientist Alistair Garner in Bedford and now she’s going to repeat in Mojacar.

"It will be this weekend, in an event that will close off the centre of the old town."

The Spanish newspaper believes Emily and Alistair's bash will feature around 200 guests, including some "well-known faces".

They added: "The places chosen are the Mirador de Mojacar square and two nearby restaurants.

"Access to these points will be restricted following the processing of the corresponding municipal permits.

"Around 200 guests are expected to attend, among them well-known faces in the cinema and television industry who in some cases have been co-stars in productions the actress has worked on."

Last month, Emily revealed on Instagram that she and Alistair will be having a Spanish ceremony following their UK bash, which featured a McDonald's van serving ice cream McFlurries to guests at the reception.

She wrote at the time: "Yesterday we officially got married among close family and friends. It was absolutely perfect. I can’t believe we get to do all that again in a few weeks' time.

"Christ, we have fun don’t we @dralistairgarner."

Emily is no stranger to Mojacar.

During her childhood, her family used to go on holiday to the Spanish village, where her dad Keith had a summer home.

Speaking in 2020, she told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I loved my family holidays in Mojacar, in Andalucia, when I was growing up.

"We had a property there and my dad sold it a couple of years ago, but it’s our favourite place on Earth and we still go there every single year and stay in a hotel."
