MPK CHATTED TO NEWLYWEDS SIMON PRYCE AND LAUREN HANNAFORD, ABOUT FINDING LOVE, LIFE ON THE ROAD, AND THE NEXT CHAPTER IN THEIR COLOURFUL LIVES. How did you both meet each other? Lauren: We met each other working with The Wiggles. Simon was playing a character called ‘Ringo the Ringmaster’ and I was a gymnast/dancer.
Was it an instant connection or did you take a while before you started dating? Lauren: We took a while before we started dating. We became good friends first. I would often train in between shows and Simon came up and asked me one day if he could train with me. From there our relationship grew and it has been based around health and fitness, friendship and love ever since.
What did you immediately like about each other? Simon: What I immediately liked about Lauren was her beautiful smile, great sense of humour and amazing physical prowess, and of course how gorgeous she is. Lauren: There is something about him that just makes you feel comfortable, safe and happy. And whilst he has such a strong and engaging presence about him, I immediately liked Simon’s kind and gentle nature. Plus he’s a babe, let’s be honest about that one!
How has it been working together with the Wiggles? Lauren: We had a lot of fun working together with The Wiggles. We got to spend every day together travelling the world and experiencing new countries and cultures while doing what we love.
