Former actor Laurence Fox has revealed he is newly married.

The former actor, 47, has tied the knot with conspiracy theorist podcaster Elizabeth Fox, nee Barker, in a low-key registry office ceremony.

The former GB News presenter was previously married to actress Billie Piper and together they share two sons, Winston and Eugene.

He took to X to announce the news, writing: “In order to avoid having to encounter anyone from the Church of England, myself and my beautiful wife Elizabeth signed a piece of paper in a registry office today.

“Proper wedding in a few days with nearest and dearest in the eyes of God.”

In photographs taken outside the registry office, Fox is seen smoking a cigarette and wearing jeans and trainers, while Elizabeth sports a white linen dress and holds a Chanel bag.

Fans offered their congratulations to the couple, with one person saying: “Congratulations guys that’s incredible news wishing you all the happiness in the world you both deserve it.”

Another wrote: “Congratulations, folks. What a beautiful couple! May you have years of happiness ahead of you! Love to you both.”

Fox announced his engagement to his followers on the social media platform last year, joking that he was “punching”.

Elizabeth Fox accompanied her now husband as he attended the High Court in November at the start of his libel trial.

The Reclaim Party leader was sued by former Stonewall trustee Simon Blake and drag artist Crystal over a row on X in October 2020.

The spat began after Fox posted online about Sainsbury’s decision to mark Black History Month in October 2020.

He was accused of being a racist by Mr Blake and Mr Seymour, and in response he used the “paedophile” slur.

Fox was ordered to pay out a total of £180,000 in libel damages after a judge ruled Fox “subjected them to a wholly undeserved public ordeal”.

Elizabeth has taken part in the controversial podcast Elite Thinking Club which often airs outlandish conspiracy theories.

For example one episode discusses the theory of evolution of human beings descending from apes.

Elizabeth, who described herself as a body double, said: "I think that's what we're made to believe and that is what we should be believing, but I don't think that is. No. I think we come from another race."

She also claimed that climate change was a “smoke screen” for government control.
