The model, 34, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes five years ago, and in a new interview has shared how she navigated the condition while marrying the comedian.
Roxy shared that ahead of her big day she was worried her glucose levels could drop while she was 'walking down the aisle,' and she even had to schedule one of her insulin injections before tucking into her wedding cake.
The influencer now uses a continuous glucose monitor, which is attached to her arm and monitors her glucose levels, alongside hybrid closed-loop system device which injects insulin into her leg.

Roxy revealed her wedding concerns stemmed from difficulties she had while she was pregnant with her daughter Elsie, two, when her glucose levels became 'crazy' and unpredictable, and forced her to have scans every week.
She said: 'I was very anxious about managing my diabetes on my wedding day because I was thinking, ''what if my glucose levels go really low while I’m walking down the aisle?'''
