Little Britain star married his long term partner and TV producer Kevin McGee on Sunday. The comic, famous for characters such as Andy, the wheelchair bound grump and Vicki Pollard, has been with Kevin for four years after they met in a nightclub. After a 6 month engagement, they put an official seal on the relationship in a civil ceremony held at a private members club in London.
The reception was the main talking point of the weekend though, with guests at the lavish do at banqueting Hall in Whitehall all dressing as panto stars. Guests included and who dressed as Captain Hook and Prince Charming, who appeared as an ugly sister and Matt s comedy partner as Christopher Biggins! Don t ask.
I wish the couple well, and it looks like the amount of gay civil partnerships taking place is rising month on month, which can only be a good thing. Official figures show there have been 15,672 gay and lesbian unions in the nine months since the new laws were passed in the UK. London has emerged as the leader in stats with over a quarter of these, being held in the capital.
