He found fame with Aussie audiences as one of SAS Australia’s no-nonsense DS (Directing Staff).

But despite his hardcore attitude and serious demeanour when it comes to putting the recruits through their paces, it turns out Matthew “Ollie” Ollerton has a softer side away from the cameras.

According to Hello!, Ollie and his fiancée Laura Gander, 40, eloped to Scotland after they were forced to pull the plug on their elaborate Bond-themed  nuptials last July due to the pandemic.

The reality star and his new wife tied the knot at Gretna Green on December 27 – Ollie’s 50th birthday – and the bride wore a silver full-length dress designed by Ghost.

"We defied all the odds and it was an absolute mission to pull it off. It was the year when it looked like we wouldn't be able to marry, and then we did," Ollie told the UK magazine.

He joked of the chosen date: "We did it on that day so I'll never forget our anniversary.”

With the UK’s restrictions constantly changing and restricting travel, planning the wedding was a difficult task for the couple, who are based in England.

Fortunately, government rules allow people to cross the border from England into Scotland in order to attend a wedding.

"We've said that time and time again; our day had real character. It was more than just a wedding as we worked within all the tier rules [restrictions put in place in different areas of the UK due to coronavirus] when we could have just said: 'Oh this is too hard.' It really made it about us," Ollie said.

Ollie previously shared plans with Metro UK of his lavish wedding that would have taken place if the COVID-19 crisis didn’t occur.

“We were supposed to get married on July 11 and it was really exciting because it was supposed to be – Ollie Ollerton, 00 – so it was going to be a James Bond wedding,” he spilled.

“We had Aston Martins lined up, everyone coming as either Bond or the villains or Bond girls so it was quite exciting.”
