Inside Danielle Lloyd's SECRET sunset beach wedding to Michael O'Neill in Dubai

Danielle Lloyd has got secretly married to her electrician beau Michael O'Neill after three years together.

The model and mum of four tied the knot on the beach in Dubai just as the sun was setting on Saturday.

She was surrounded by friends, family and her four sons - Archie, seven; Harry, six; three-year-old George and Ronnie, 18 months.

The 35-year-old model had her guests in tears with her and Michael's romantic ceremony, helped by the boys.

"It was a small wedding. All the boys were involved and everyone watching was in tears," a source told the Sun, adding that it was "incredibly romantic and lavish".

"They got married on the beach in front of the Burj Al Arab hotel as the sun went down."

While Danielle and Michael kept most of their wedding under wraps by posting very little about it on social media, the bride did relent for their evening bash.

She shared a picture of the candle-lit beach outside the iconic hotel, where guests were led to the reception after the ceremony.

Footage on her Instagram shows her guests letting their hair down at the disco while the DJ blares out dance music.

There seems to have been a dress code, as all the women wore white dresses and the men were in white shirts and shorts.

A live saxophonist performed next to the DJ booth as the women around him happily swigged white wine and danced to his music.

Beautifully simple white flower arrangements decorated each table, which were piled with cocktails.

Unfortunately, Danielle's bridesmaid came a cropper when one cheeky guest threw her into the indoor swimming pool at the reception, ruining her hair.

The couple first got engaged in 2016, when Michael proposed just six months into their relationship.

But when she fell pregnant with Ronnie, they decided to delay their wedding until after his arrival.

Danielle even signed up for Say Yes To The Dress and was seen in January 2017 trying on a beautiful white gown.

But she ditched the elegant dress when she found out she was pregnant, and went back on the show the following year to pick out another perfect wedding number.

Danielle was seen trying on a white lace fishtail gown with a heart-shaped peekaboo cut-out at the back.

She also picked out a long, flowing white off-the-shoulder dress with a trailing lace gossamer train.

Danielle was previously married to footballer and Celebrity Big Brother star Jamie O'Hara, but divorced him somewhat acrimoniously in 2014.
