Comedian and actor Jack Whitehall has said he split his suit trousers on his wedding day.
The 37-year old, known for Fresh Meat and Bad Education, tied the knot with model Roxy Horner during a countryside wedding over the weekend.
The pair announced their engagement in December 2024, nearly a year after welcoming their first child, Elsie.
Speaking to British Vogue, Whitehall said: “I squatted down to pick up Elsie and my trousers split, my whole ass was hanging out.”
Meanwhile, Horner wore a strapless silk Galia Lahav gown and veil for the ceremony with Alaia Le Coeur heels, complete with a diamond necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring by Roxanne Assoulin.
She later changed into a second Lahav dress for the reception, paired with Freya Rose heels.
Horner said: “I also wore my grandmother’s engagement ring that she handed down to me when she passed away, which was so special.”
For her “something borrowed” she had a bell on her bouquet as part of a centuries-old family tradition, completed with a blue ribbon on her garter which she said later fell off.
The 34-year old walked down the aisle with her father Perry and said that although she was really nervous before walking out, she later “got the giggles” because she kept tripping over her dress while walking up the stairs.
“Then Jack was blubbing at the end of the aisle,” she said.
Their daughter was one of three flower girls at the ceremony and wore a white dress like her mother.
Horner said: “It was very sweet when she got to the end of the aisle.
“I just heard her go, ‘daddy, daddy!’”
During the ceremony, a string quartet played Beauty And The Beast from the hit Disney film, with readings from a number of friends and family including Horner’s sister Roxy who read a piece from Winnie The Pooh, while one of Whitehall’s oldest friends, Tally Gilbert, read a personalised poem she had written for the couple.
The lakeside ceremony also included a Shakespearean sonnet performed by actor – and Whitehall and his father’s good friend – Neil Stuke, before the pair shared their first dance together to Michael Jackson’s Rock With You, with the party going on into the early hours of the morning.
The newlyweds will head to Venice for their honeymoon, with a stay on the luxury Belmond Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express train.
