They&#8217;ve recently faced some rumours they&#8217;d split up after <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2025\/04\/24\/every-shocking-accusation-shelley-has-made-against-james-after-love-on-the-spectrum\/\">Shelley revealed she&#8217;s hurt<\/a> that he was dating after they first met, but worry not, because they&#8217;ve now toasted to a big milestone, and appear happier than ever.<\/p>\n<h2>Shelley just revealed how she and James spent their first date<\/h2>\n<p>Shelley has opened up about how she and James spent their first date a year ago today, before Love on the Spectrum season three was filmed. They actually went and sang karaoke, with Shelley writing in her Instagram Stories, &#8220;As people have been asking, I am a big Morrissey fan and actually sang, &#8220;Frankly, Mr. Shankly&#8221; one year ago on my first date with James.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She shared a video clip of the band performing, which followed a photo of James praying at Sunday church, with the song, Everyday is Like Sunday by Morrissey. Regardless of Shelley speaking out to say she can&#8217;t watch Love on the Spectrum season three, she&#8217;s not letting it get in the way of the connection she shares with James.<\/p>\n<h2>They&#8217;re celebrating a big milestone after Love on the Spectrum<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DI9_0pdRey7\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
