Merseyside bride hired Jordan's Cinderella coach

A couple from Merseyside hired the same Cinderella-style horse-drawn carriage that Jordan travelled in for her marriage to Peter Andre.

Karen Levine told the Liverpool Echo that she thought the celebrity wedding was "magical".

"She wanted a fairytale wedding just like me, when I saw her glass Cinderella carriage I wanted it for my wedding," she said.

But, after several failed attempts to contact the carriage owners, the 28-year-old former model gave up on her dream.

However, her fiance Christopher Appleton had secretly got hold of Gary McDonagh, who hires out the pink-curtained coach, and made the booking.

Christopher, 30, explained: "Karen wanted a fairytale wedding so I gave it to her. I love her to bits, what she wants she gets."

The ThisIsLancashire website reported that the carriage had originally been created to transport a little girl to her Holy Communion in 2004.

Georgina McDonagh explained that when she realised her dying father would never see her or her sister get married, she wanted to make the occasion extra special and so commissioned the vehicle to be built in Poland and shipped back to the UK.

After reading that Jordan wanted a fairytale wedding, she contacted the star and offered the loan of the carriage.
