Reality TV star Abbey Clancy married footballer Peter Crouch yesterday in a fairytale wedding in Leicestershire.

25 year old Abbey and 30 year old Peter were all smiles as they posed for the waiting press after the ceremony, with Abbey looking stunning in a glamorous white gown.

The Daily Mirror reports that the couple, “had a low-key church ceremony followed by a lavish reception and it’s thought they spent the evening singing karaoke and being entertained by a magician.”
