They were joined by their family members – including Victoria’s parents Jackie and Anthony Adams and her rarely-seen brother Christian – for the visit.
Their date night saw them enjoy a bottle of wine, which came in a personalised engraved bucket, on a rooftop where they also let off heart-shaped balloons.
