Tom Holland has praised his wife Zendaya's acting ability, insisting she "raises the game" in any production.

The married couple have starred alongside one another in several movies, including Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey, and Tom says "every scene" is "better" if Zendaya is part of it.

He told E! News: "The truth is that she raises the game.

"She's the type of actress where every scene is better when she's in it.

"She raises the stakes for everyone."

Tom - who reprises his role as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man in the forthcoming Marvel superhero film - feels "very lucky" to have appeared alongside his significant other in several projects.

He added: "She's truthful in every decision she makes as an actress.

"And any time that I get to share the screen with her, I'm very lucky."

The showbiz power couple married in an intimate, secret ceremony earlier this year, and they're now planning to go all out with an "epic" wedding party to celebrate their nuptials at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, England, with hundreds set to attend.

A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper's Talk of the Town column: "'It's going to be massive. They were perusing the grounds recently, pointing out where they wanted the grand piano and other tents. It's going to be epic."

However, the couple's planning hit a problem when someone at the castle - which is owned by David Manners, the Duke of Rutland, and his family - was bitten by a tick while out in the grounds.

The insider said: "Someone connected to the castle recently picked up a tick from the long grass in part of the grounds.

"It really set the cat among the pigeons. Tom and Zendaya have since been insistent that no guests should be allowed near that section of the grounds, lest any of the Hollywood A-listers also be subjected to a tick bite. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease."

Tom finally confirmed last month that he and Zendaya had got married after five years of dating.

The actor told how his grandmother thought that she hadn't been invited to the ceremony because she had seen the infamous fake AI wedding pictures that circulated online.

Asked by Esquire Magazine if he had to send out similar messages to other family members who feared they may have missed the wedding, Tom said: "No, because they were all there."

However, Tom refused to divulge any further details about the wedding.

He said: "That's all you'll get on that."
