There aren't many men who can claim to have married their wife to another man. But when More FM presenter Paul "Flynny" Flynn ties the knot with his stunning fiancée Jo Whitaker in May, he will be among the few that can say he's done just that.

Because Flynny, who is also a marriage celebrant, was the man who conducted his fiancée's nuptials when she married her former husband back in 2014!

The surreal yarn is slightly different to the edited version Flynny shared with More FM listeners - he claimed to have met Jo, 41, "out and about" at a pub. However, after popping the question, he 'fesses up to Woman's Day, "The first time we met was actually when I was Jo's celebrant!" Back then, the 43-year-old was married to his former wife, with whom he shares four kids, Jack, 17, Leo, 14, Mickey, 11, and Alex, eight.

Not wanting a drawn-out engagement, the lovebirds are preparing to say "I do" in May.

"Obviously, I was happily married at the time, so it was strictly platonic, but I just really clicked with Jo," he tells. "I thought she was an amazing girl and a stunning bride - and I thought she and her husband were a really cool couple. We became Facebook friends and liked a few of each others' pics, but we didn't really interact."

Fast-forward a few years and "I thought she was an amazing girl and a stunning bride - and the pair were both single 40something parents. Mum-of-one Jo's marriage to her former hubby had broken up in 2018, while Flynny was still reeling from the 2020 end of his 15-year marriage.

Flynny, who has been open about his battles with anxiety in the past, eventually shared the sad news of the split with his More FM listeners. "It was really, really hard," he said. "Out of respect for my ex-wife and kids, I left it for quite a while to keep it private. I wasn't feeling very good about it all, obviously!"
