Speaking to Good Housekeeping magazine last year Hussain, who is from Luton, admitted it was "tough" marrying "a complete stranger".

"I had an arranged marriage, and learnt you have to persevere and remember we are all human and all have faults.

"We had to live through the good and the bad, and have come out the other side. Love is strange... it creeps up on you and then smacks you in the face.

"I didn't know my husband, and then we had two children, and then I fell in love with him."
