Fortunately, he was a tad more sure-footed yesterday when he scored a hat-trick of tries to help a resurgent England rugby team thrash the French at Twickenham.

The flying wing, dubbed the fastest man in English rugby, was warmly applauded by Prince Harry as he left the field to a standing ovation.

May married Sophie Snook in July 2017. He tripped when walking down the aisle, dragging Sophie into the front row

And his wife Sophie, 28, was on hand to give the country’s latest rugby hero a congratulatory kiss on the touchline.

May scored his hat-trick inside the first 30 minutes as England steamrollered France in the Six Nations match 44-8.

The 28-year-old from Swindon once admitted to preparing for a match by listening to the theme tune to Disney’s Frozen. The Leicester Tigers winger has played 41 times for England.

He married Sophie Snook, who works as a personal trainer in Market Harborough in Leicestershire, in the Wiltshire village of Patney in July 2017. Wedding photographer Nick Church wrote how ‘Jonny lost his footing when coming back up the aisle … dragging Sophie into the front row’. Pictures showed the vicar looking alarmed as the groom stumbled into a pew.

May, who has been in a relationship with Sophie for 11 years, was state-educated at The Ridgeway School and Sixth Form College in Wiltshire before attending Hartpury College, a specialist sports college. The couple have a rottweiler called Nala.
