Amanda Redman makes an honest man of her toyboy lover 15 years her junior



Amanda Redman wed her long-time toyboy lover Damian Schnabel at the weekend.


The 53-year-old actress couldn't have looked happier as she posed with her 38-year-old husband in a halterneck satin gown by Ritva Westenius.


She picked a dress which didn't hide her left arm – disfigured after an accident when she was a child.




The New Tricks star has never made a secret of the scarring, the result of tipping a pan of boiling soup over herself when she was 18 months old. 

Mr Schnabel, a mobile phone designer, proposed six months ago. They met in 1999 but in 2003 she left him for an 18-month fling with actor Adam Rayner, who is 20 years her junior. 
However, she and Mr Schnabel have been back together since 2006. 

Miss Redman has called him 'the love of my life', adding: 'He restored my faith in love.' 
The couple wed in front of 200 friends and family at the 13th century Maunsel House in Taunton on Saturday.
