Little Britain star Lucas 'weds'
Monday, December 18 2006

Little Britain star Matt Lucas has "married" his long-term partner Kevin McGee in a civil partnership ceremony, before a panto-themed reception.

Guests at the service in London included Lucas' comedy partner David Walliams and presenter Dale Winton. The ceremony was kept fairly formal, with male guests wearing suits.

But the reception was a more outrageous affair as guests such as Elton John and Jonathan Ross took the opportunity to dress in pantomime costumes. Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Lucas said: "I'm nervous but very excited at the same time."

And, explaining the flamboyant dress code, the comedian added: "I like dressing up, I'm quite a preppy, dull dresser in my life, so it's a chance for me to be a bit more outrageous." The 32-year-old has been with TV producer McGee for three years and they have been engaged since May.

After the ceremony, the couple looked relaxed and happy as they posed for cameras arm-in-arm. Lucas wore an exotic Aladdin's costume with pink plumes, gold spangled trousers and a bolero jacket at the reception, which was held at Banqueting House in Whitehall. And his partner was dressed as Prince Charming.

Lucas' Little Britain comedy partner David Walliams attended the event in a blue and yellow Billy Bunter-style blazer.

Elton John and David Furnish arrived at the reception as Captain Hook and Prince Charming.

Other guests included comic Paul O'Grady, who was dressed as Captain Hook, and EastEnders actor Steve McFadden who turned up as the Demon Prince accompanied by his on-screen-mother Barbara Windsor as the Fairy Godmother.

Meanwhile, singer Will Young attended the event as an Ugly Sister, while Nancy Sorrell - Vic Reeves' wife - donned a short skirt and knee-high socks for her Bo Peep costume.
