Rio Ferdinand couldn’t hold back the emotion as he watched his bride Kate Wright walk down the aisle.

The football pundit and former Towie star tied the knot on Friday, 27 September, in a lavish ceremony in Turkey.

And Rio, 40, admitted that he was totes emosh as he seen his daughter Tia walking down the aisle – followed by his sons accompanying Kate, 28, to the altar.

Speaking to OK! magazine, the former Manchester United star said: ‘I cried as soon as the day started. Seeing Tia walk up the aisle before Kate set me off. It was just so emotional.

‘There was just no going back on the emotion, that’s why I had to keep my shades on! Seeing Tate and Lorenz walk Kate down the aisle was particularly poignant and we wouldn’t have wanted to do it any other way.’

Rio added that Lorenz, 13, and Tate, 11, were ‘so proud’ to walk their stepmum down the aisle, with Kate also calling it a ‘hugely important moment’.

However, the reality star wasn’t as tearful during her big day, having got all her tears out in the morning.

Kate said: ‘Seeing Rio at the altar made me feel so happy, I couldn’t wait to get to him, especially as he was so emotional. It was everything that I had imagined it to be.’

Rio’s three children with late wife Rebecca Ellison had previously played a role in their dad’s proposal to Kate in Dubai, so it was no surprise they also had a big part to play in the wedding.

Kate previously revealed she had given up reality TV to focus on Rio and his kids, saying: ‘ had two choices. I’m in this world with lots of drama and then I met Rio and the children and, I thought, “I’m with these kids, who have lost their mum, they don’t need a woman who is out all the time. They need someone at home with them.”‘

Rebecca died from breast cancer in May 2015 after six years of marriage to Rio.

Kate and Rio married at the D Maris Bay hotel in Marmaris, with rooms costing £4,000 a night.

It is believed guests had their phones taken away from them to avoid pictures of the wedding leaking, with the wedding party enjoying a three day celebration concluding with a massive pool party.
