Tricia Penrose Marries Chris Hargreaves in Beautiful Lancashire Wedding, Four Years After Divorce
Tricia Penrose, beloved star of Heartbeat and Celebrity Big Brother, has revealed that she has remarried, sharing the exciting news of her wedding to Chris Hargreaves in a beautiful ceremony in Lancashire. The 56-year-old actress, who tied the knot on Saturday, described her new husband as “the love of my life” in an emotional post to her fans.
The couple exchanged vows at the Briars Hall Country Club, where they were photographed in a candid, joyful moment, gazing lovingly at each other. Tricia looked radiant in a stunning Bardot-style white wedding gown with intricate lace embroidery and a flowing skirt. She completed her look with elegant, loose curls and simple silver jewelry.
Chris, who proposed to Tricia during a romantic holiday in Tenerife in 2025, was the picture of dashing charm in a grey suit, white tie, and black bowtie. The couple’s happiness was evident as they shared their vows and began this new chapter in their lives.
In a heartfelt tribute on social media, Tricia wrote: “Married the love of my life yesterday xxx,” along with a selection of wedding photos from the day. Fans flooded the comments with messages of congratulations and well-wishes, with one writing, “Wishing you both many years of happiness together xx,” and another commenting, “What a lucky man, congratulations!”
This new chapter marks a fresh beginning for Tricia, who previously went through a public divorce in 2021 from her former husband, Mark Simpkin, after 18 years of marriage. A source close to the couple revealed, “They had grown apart over time, and the decision was made for the good of all involved.”
Tricia, known for her iconic role as Gina Ward in Heartbeat, rose to fame in the early ’90s when the show debuted on ITV. After leaving the show in 2010, she remained a beloved figure in British television and has since found happiness once more.
The wedding marks a fresh start for Tricia and Chris, as they embark on their new life together, surrounded by love and support from their friends, family, and fans.
