Danny Malin and Sophie Mei Lan announce wedding date with the ceremony set for this summer

Rate My Takeaway star Danny Malin has set a date to marry Britain’s Got Talent’s Sophie Mei Lan - with the pair set to tie the knot in two months.

Known to some as Mr and Mrs Yorkshire, the couple will marry in Leeds on Saturday, June 10. Former Leeds butcher Danny Malin turned Youtuber popped the question to Britain's Got Talent bellydancer and journalist Sophie Mei Lan, from Sheffield, late last year after a whirlwind romance.

Danny said: “When you meet your soulmate there’s no messing around. Life’s too short.” Danny, 43, and Sophie, 35, are also expecting their first baby together.

“Expect entertainment, street food, lots of surprises and a lot of laughter and dance,” said Sophie who wants the wedding to be Yorkshire-themed with a touch of the Orient as a nod to her heritage.

Sophie added: “We will officially become Mr and Mrs Yorkshire the nickname people gave us so we want to make sure we celebrate the best of God's Own County by using Yorkshire suppliers.” The pair will be vlogging their day as well as it being professionally filmed, photographed and live-streamed.

Danny said: “So far we have the venues booked finally and are working with York wedding suppliers who are helping us out. So now we’re on the hunt for last-minute caterers or street food vans, suit suppliers, flowers, entertainers and all the other trimmings of a wedding I’ve probably forgotten. For us it was all about booking the church first and now we’re building on that.”

Danny and Sophie’s wedding will be happening at Leeds Minister followed by a wedding breakfast and party at the Aria Suite in Leeds which is owned by the Sheepscar Bar and Grill.
