Vicky and Jonny, 54, joined his radio presenter daughter Katie Owen on a call to BBC Wales live from the wedding party, and declared: “We’re married!”
Vicky also revealed Katie was forced to leave the wedding early to host her show on the radio, adding: “We’ve had the most amazing special day and we’re gutted you had to go back but we’re so proud of you.
“You’re missing lots of dancing but we can do that again.”
The pair tied the knot in Nottingham and Vicky looked stunning in a strapless white gown with lace detailing.
They were joined by Vicky’s Line of Duty co-stars Martin Compston and Adrian Dunbar, who reunited for a celebratory photo and posed with glasses of fizz while flashing huge smiles.
DI Matthew “Dot” Cottan actor Craig Parkinson, football manager Rob Page, Everton manager Sean Dyche and TV presenter Paddy McGuinness also made up the couple’s star-studded guest list.
Martin who starred as AC-12’s Steve Arnott in Line of Duty, paid tribute to Vicky and shared snaps from inside the bash showing her sipping on cans of Red Stripe, as their co-stars donned police helmets.
He wrote alongside the pics: “Incredible day in Notts celebrating the best of people @vicky.mcclure and @jonathanowen71 nuptials
“First dance with the Dementia Choir was just beautiful and says everything about the two of them sharing their moment with the dementia team. A few shandies were had afterwards.”
Vicky and Jonny met back in 2012 while filming Svengali, a movie which Jonny wrote and directed.
She told BBC Wales that she spoke to him for the first time on the phone before they had even met, and she “just knew” that Jonny was the one.
Welsh news site Nation Cymru reported her as saying on BBC Radio Wales: “When we first spoke it was on the phone. I came off the phone and I just knew.
“I’ve never loved anyone more than I’ve loved Jonny.”
Jonny confirmed the feelings were immediately reciprocated as he chatted to his daughter Katie.
He said: “I remember we were walking down Southbank (in London) on a weekend break from filming (Svengali) and we were going to the Tate Modern and she turned to me and asked me if I fancied going to the pub instead.
“And I was like, well, yeah! I thought, ‘What a girl’.
“I think we almost simultaneously both went, ‘I fancy you!’ It just tumbled from there and we haven’t been apart since that moment.
“I was going through a divorce at the time and I’d been separated for seven or eight months. I think we went from ‘I like you’ in the pub to ‘I love you’ in about 10 seconds.”
The pair got engaged on Christmas Day morning in 2017 and Vicky shared photos of her engagement ring later that day on a romantic stroll.
Vicky added: “We stayed at home for the first time together on Christmas Eve so had Christmas morning together.
“He popped the question over a cup of tea – we moved onto the bubbles by 8.30am.”
