Philip Olivier, known for his role as Timothy 'Tinhead' O'Leary in the British soap opera Brookside, has married his long-term partner, Amy Virtue.
The wedding ceremony took place on Saturday aboard The Daffodil, a boat owned by Olivier, docked in Liverpool's Canning Docks. The couple exchanged vows with several former castmates and other television personalities present.
Actress Jennifer Ellison, who played Olivier's on-screen love interest Emily Shadwick, shared details of the celebration on Instagram. She described the day as "perfect from start to finish" and praised the venue.
Olivier, 46, and Virtue, the mother of his five children, appeared in high spirits as they greeted guests. The groom wore an all-white suit, while the bride chose a lace gown and matching choker. Wedding favors featured the couple's names and the date of their marriage: 04.07.2026.
Among the guests were Emmerdale star Adam Thomas and his wife Caroline, as well as Brookside co-stars Leon Lopez and Paul Byatt. Ellison also shared a photo with her husband, Rob Tickle.
Olivier portrayed 'Tinhead' O'Leary in Brookside from 1996 until the show's conclusion in 2003. His acting credits also include appearances in television shows such as Benidorm, Holby City, and Doctors. In 2019, he featured in the short film 'Just Me,' which explored themes of sexual identity. In October 2025, he reprised his role as Tinhead for a crossover episode with Hollyoaks. Olivier previously stated he stepped back from acting for a decade to focus on family and find work closer to home in Liverpool.
