Dapper Laughs weds Shelley Rae four years on from Celebrity Big Brother proposal

Comedian Dapper Laughs has married his fiancee Shelley Rae in a sweet ceremony, four years after proposing to her live on Celebrity Big Brother.

The 38-year-old comedian shared the happy news of his sun-drenched nuptials as he posted a video on his Instagram page.

Dapper's clip sees him filming his new wife Shelley, 33, as he gushes: "Look at my bride!".

He then turns the camera to a smiling Shelley who looks stunning in a white gown as she leans in to pose alongside her new husband.

"We're married," Dapper announces while an excited Shelley squeals while clutching on to her bouquet.

The newlyweds then share a sweet kiss before Shelley giggles and nuzzles into the comedian, real name Daniel O'Reilly.

As Daniel shared the video on his Instagram page to announce the happy news with his 755,000 followers, he wrote in the caption: "We did it @shelleyraerae".

The couple had been dating for three years before Daniel popped the question. They also share two children; a five-year-old daughter, Neve, and Roux, three, together.

Dapper and his former glamour model wife married at Weybridge Registry Office on Friday. As they were announced as man and wife, Dapper was seen wiping away tears.

The couple's big day had been postponed twice due to the pandemic. But, now they've finally walked down the aisle friends and fans flooded their social media pages with messages of congratulations.

Social media star Stevo the Madman wrote: "Congrats guys all the best shell mad woman x". While a fan added: "Congratulations to you both".

Hours ahead of the wedding Daniel couldn't hide his excitement as he wrote a touching tribute to Shelley, which read: "Today I marry @shelleyraerae .. You’ve no idea what she has to put up with, I’m crazy, emotional, insecure, jealous, I work relentlessly, I do spontaneous mad stuff, & she rides the wave.

"Together we lost everything and won it all back, together we helped each other through the loss of our fathers, and so many other loved ones.

"She also blessed me with these two little sweethearts.

"On the honeymoon I’m going to be working on a little mini Dapper, we need a boy

"Nerves are ok, but I’m going to ball my eyes out I know it.

"I love you Shelley, your my sweetheart, let’s get married today".

The four year wait to walk down the aisle appears to have paid off as the couple were blessed with sunny weather on their big day, which had a red and white theme.

And the happy pair posed for photos in front of a traditional red London bus to tie in the theme.

Comedian Daniel surprised Celebrity Big Brother viewers in 2018 when he popped the question to Shelley in an exit interview.

He explained the decision to pop the question came to him when he was inside the house missing his longterm girlfriend.

Dapper explained: "Do you know what, when I was in the house, every day I regretted I didn’t ask you… so will you marry me?"

Shelley broke down in tears as he placed a makeshift ring on her finger, which he later apologised for.

He explained the bling was made by his musician housemate Ginuwine and promised to "change it for a better one".

Celebrity Big Brother host Emma Willis was taken aback by the romantic gesture and told the comedian: "You shot that ring on before she could say no!", before the interview continued.
