Kate Moss and Gemma Collins 'to be bridesmaids' at DJ Fat Tony's wedding to fiancé Stavros Agapiou - as star-studded guestlist and A-list performer are 'revealed'
Kate Moss and Gemma Collins will reportedly act as bridesmaids at the DJ Fat Tony's wedding to fiancé Stavros Agapiou on Saturday.
Tony, 58, and Stavros, 32, have been engaged since October 2023 and are set to walk down the aisle in a lavish London ceremony at the weekend.
And with Tony being hugely popular on the celebrity circuit, it's little surprise that the nuptials will host an eclectic star-studded guestlist and an A-list performance from none other than Kylie Minogue for the evening celebrations, according to reports.
Perhaps more surprising however is the unlikely pairing of supermodel Kate, 51, and reality star Gemma, 44, who alongside Coronation Street 's Claire Sweeney, 54, will allegedly stand by Tony's side as he marries the love of his life.
The glitzy event is said to be taking place at a church in West London, with the likes of David and Victoria Beckham and David Furnish mingling alongside Alison Hammond and Jedward, while Tony previously revealed that he wanted Boy George as his best man.

A source told The Sun: 'Tony is one of the most popular people on the London celebrity circuit and his wedding is going to be packed full of stars.
'No one had Kate, Gemma and Claire in a bridal party on their bingo cards this year, though. It's going to be incredible to see them lining up together.'
They added: 'Tony and Stavros have put a lot of thought into their big day and it's going to be one to remember. As for having Kylie singing at their evening do, it's iconic.'
The insider went on to say that Tony's dog will also have a 'role' in the big day while the couple 'couldn't be happier' about saying their vows in front of their loved ones - noting that the wedding pictures will 'go down in history'.
MailOnline have contacted DJ Fat Tony's representatives for comment.
In 2023, Tony opened up about the poignant choice of church for their wedding, noting that he plans to wed in a church in Earls Court which honoured those who died of HIV and AIDS in the eighties and nineties.
He said at the time: 'This church was the only place that had love and compassion for our community. I want to get married there because, for me, it's full circle. It's for everybody that didn't make it to that point.'
Earlier this month, much of the reported guestlist stepped out to party with DJ Fat Tony at his star-studded stag do.
The renowned DJ, real name Tony Marnach, was joined by his closest friends including Gemma, Claire and Jade Jagger as he celebrated before his marriage to Stavros.
The pair have been engaged since October 2023 after Tony popped the question during a romantic trip to New York.
The stag was thrown at an elite speakeasy style bar in Mayfair known for live music and burlesque performers.
Tony donned a sophisticated all black ensemble with a pair of jeans, zip down structured jacket as he beamed for a snap with the TOWIE legend.
Gemma wore a stunning white co-ord featuring flared trousers and a buttoned waistcoat over a colourful ruffled blouse.
Claire, 54, was beaming as she arrived in Mayfair wearing a golden jumpsuit with a houndstooth pattern and an oversized faux fur coat.
Jade Jagger, daughter of Rolling Stones rocker Sir Mick Jagger, was in great spirits as she was photographed with Tony when she arrived at the party.
The exclusive guest list kept going with fashion designer Kyle De'Volle and Gavin And Stacey actor Russell Tovey.
Elsewhere, the likes of Kate Moss and Alison Hammond celebrated with the happy couple at their glitzy engagement party at The Londoner Hotel last year.
This Morning host Alison was joined by son Aidan, with Gemma and John Grimes of Jedward also in attendance.
Also in attendance was singer Boy George, actor Russell Tovey and author Irvine Welsh and his wife Emma Currie.
It comes as Tony and Stavros were showered with gifts just hours before their nuptials on Saturday.
The couple, who will say 'I Do' at the weekend, were sent gorgeous bouquets of flowers as the DJ took to Instagram to share their lovely gifts on Friday.
Meanwhile, the happy couple were also sent a sweet good luck message from pal Davina McCall as she she shared her love for them ahead of their big day.

Nicola Peltz insists she's 'grateful to have beautiful people around her' as Brooklyn Beckham's family feud intensifies
Nicola Peltz insisted she's 'grateful to have beautiful people around her' in a gushing Instagram post on Thursday. The actress, 30, appeared in high-spirits in the snap as she was surrounded by her 'team' amid the ongoing drama with husband Brooklyn Beckham's family. She wrote: 'I love my team so much. I'm so grateful to have such beautiful people around me'. David Beckham, 50, and wife Victoria, 51, have become estranged from eldest child Brooklyn, 26, whose heiress wife has been blamed for the rift in the once tight-knit family. The Beckhams have largely remained silent in public about the rift, but they are said to fear that Brooklyn is falling increasingly under the control of Nicola. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Brooklyn recently said he is excited to build his own family with wife Nicola, as tensions continue to simmer between him and his parents. During a PDA-packed video shared released by Glamour Magazine, the eldest son of Victoria and David gushes multiple times that he can see kids in his future, and that Nicola will be an 'amazing' mother. Taking on the magazine's Friend Test, the pair are tasked with looking into each other's eyes for two minutes and revealing what they see. Romantic Brooklyn immediately gushes: 'I see us when we have our kids,' as Nicola adds: 'I see the future father of my kids.' 'The most important thing someone can do in their life is find that person for life because they'll really change everything and they'll make everything better,' Brooklyn later adds. And revealing what he has learned from his four year relationship with Nicola, Brooklyn honed in on his wife's nurturing nature. 'We have four dogs and the way she treats them, I feel like you're gonna be the most amazing mum with our kids,' he told her. As for Nicola she was keen to highlight her husband's 'pure, good intentions.' 'I like when you say be happy and follow your heart or go with your gut because sometimes I feel like your head is overthinking and your heart is super emotional but I feel like your gut is just that intuition that you just go with,' the US actress mused. In the magazine interview with Glamour Germany, conducted in April, the couple opened up about outside interference in their marriage and hinted at worsening relations with the Beckham clan, as they instead focused on the advice they'd received from Nicola's billionaire parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz. While Brooklyn appeared to be deliberately omitting mention of his family, as he shared a different meaning behind the name of his hot sauce, Cloud 23. The aspiring chef's representative told last week how the number 23 was a 'warm nod' to David, who wore number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, inspired by NBA legend Michael Jordan, in a touching move that appeared to be an olive branch to his father. However, in the new interview, Brooklyn failed to mention his father, simply stating: 'The 23 stands for our engagement date and my age back then.' Elsewhere in the interview, he and Nicola also seemed to hint at interference in their relationship and the ongoing reports of the family feud. When asked how they 'protect' their relationship in the spotlight, Brooklyn stated: 'Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind. People are always going to talk. What matters is that we're happy together.' While Brooklyn was present at the Victoria's 50th, both he and his wife failed to make an appearance at her 51st. And while his younger brothers Romeo and Cruz took to social media to pay their birthday tributes to their parents, on both occasions Brooklyn stayed silent. Brooklyn appeared to nail his loyalties to the mast when he posted an image on Instagram of himself and Nicola riding a motorbike, writing: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.'

Once-thriving Debenhams store loved in the 90s to be transformed into cinema, gym & hundreds of homes
A DEBENHAMS that was once a bustling shopping hub is set to be transformed into a co-living space. The former store is set to be demolished and replaced by a ten-storey block with a cinema, gym and podcast studio. 2 Similar to student halls, the plan submitted to Chelmsford City Council envisages 181 single-occupancy rooms. If approved, each room will have a bed, kitchenette and an ensuite bathroom. They will also have a wardrobe, desk and storage. The communal spaces will contain facilities like a lounge, co-working space, event space, a gym, cinema and podcast studio. The shared areas will be available to the public on an invite-only basis. The vision for the development is to provide young professionals with affordable living spaces. Co-living housing is a new concept that is defined by a large-scale purpose-built shared accommodation. In cities, there has been a rise in single people and couples living in warehouses and large disused buildings for cheap rent. Savills have said that co-living schemes are a way to tackle the cripling housing crisis by "offering shared affordable, high quality accommodation, predominantly for 18 to 40-year-olds, with fully furnished private living units, communal areas and often flexible working space'. A planning statement said: 'The site sits in a primary location within the Chelmsford City Centre, opposite the River Chelmer and within walking distance to Chelmsford High Street, and to both Chelmsford train station and bus station. It was formerly in use as the servicing block to the adjacent Debenhams department store. "However, it is now redundant with limited scope for it to be brought back into use for retail servicing. "On this basis, it presents as a highly sustainable brownfield site with substantial scope to enhance and contribute towards the wider strategic goals of Chelmsford." This comes after another former Debenhams was given a new lease of life as an entertainment venue. After the business went into administration in 2020, hundreds of the huge department stores were left empty on UK high streets. Now, one of the abandoned stores has been completely transformed into the ultimate entertainment space. The Debenhams in Midsummer Place, Milton Keynes has been revamped by entertainment company Lane 7. The 40,000 square foot space has been kitted out with a bowling alley, roller skating rink, golf simulators, bumper cars, pool tables and a gaming experience. Lane 7's Luke Harvey said: "The culture of what people want from their nights out has changed a lot recently, the shift from being a drinking culture has stopped a little bit, especially for 18-24 year olds. "People want a little more from their nights out; they don't necessarily want to go to a nightclub anymore. "They want something fun and something they can do with a range of different friends and families." Since opening in March, the venue has seen about 2,300 visitors on its busiest days which are usually Friday nights and evenings. The entertainment company has taken over the ground floor, while Sports Direct occupies the upper floors. Although shoppers can still buy from Debenhams online, all of its 124 beloved high street stores closed down because of falling profits and rising debt. The financial problems were triggered by a combination of consumers moving online, as well as Covid lockdowns which stalled profits. Across the country, councils and developers have been repurposing former Debenhams stores. One in Northampton was demolished and replaced by student housing in October 2024, a fate that will follow for the two other stores left in the city. 2

I'LL SHOW YOU! New Rangers boss Russell Martin says he's been proving critics wrong throughout his career
Russell Martin has vowed to win over his critics after being unveiled as Rangers ' new head coach. The 39-year-old was paraded at Ibrox yesterday after signing a three-year deal to spearhead the revolution under the club's new American owners. The former Scotland and Norwich City defender, who had a brief loan stint at Rangers in 2018, has previously managed MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton. But his appointment has been met with some disapproval and anger among the fanbase, with many supporters questioning his credentials for the job. Asked if he is confident he can silence the critics, Martin replied: 'Yeah, I have to be. I think I have a lot to prove. I have done it my whole career. 'My whole career has been based on proving people wrong, really. At every level, I got questioned. 'I got to the Premier League as a player. I wasn't convinced that I could do it, but I managed to establish myself there for a little while. 'I ended up playing four or five seasons there, played international football, which I'm incredibly proud of. 'So, it's the same again as a manager, I have to prove people wrong at every opportunity.' Out of work since leaving Southampton last December, Martin was described as the standout candidate by Rangers chief executive Patrick Stewart in what became a lengthy recruitment process. The club had also held talks with Steven Gerrard and Davide Ancelotti, but it was Martin's vision, experience, and style of play that elevated him above the other contenders. 'There's always some names in football management that are always a bit more exciting than others, of course,' said Martin, when asked about his rivals for the job. 'I feel after five-and-a-half-years of being a manager, being a coach, being a leader in an environment, I love doing it. 'I'm going to be all in here with my energy, and my love for it, and passion, and hopefully that will reflect on the pitch and people will see that, and at some point they'll enjoy it. 'And hopefully, like I said, hopefully they just want to win, and if our team is winning, I'm sure they'll be happy. 'I don't think I've been the number one choice [among fans] at any club I've been at. But by the time we've left every club I've been at, I felt a real connection with the supporters. 'I am excited to be here and I want to build a Rangers team who the fans can identify with and are excited to watch.' The former centre-back, who won 29 caps between 2011 and 2017, revealed that he had knocked back a few jobs since leaving Southampton six months ago. He had been strongly linked with a move to Leicester City but made it clear to the Rangers hierarchy right from the outset that he wanted the job at Ibrox. Asked what success will look like moving forward, he explained: 'I think it's to win trophies. 'It's to build a culture at the training ground here that we are proud of, and that people can feel when they come into the building, and that the ownership want to feel when they come into the building. 'An environment of hard work, of honesty, of openness inside and outside of the building and to see a team that doesn't look different every week, that is always trying to improve and develop in our own way. 'Rather than focusing on the opposition too much or what other people are doing, we're going to do it our way and we're all going to be fully on the same page. 'I think the alignment and what I've felt over the last few weeks in the process is the most important part for me. The 39-year-old familiarises himself with the home dugout as he is introduced at Ibrox 'I think we're all on the same journey. We want to be successful and, ultimately at Rangers, that means to win trophies. 'We have to improve the team on the pitch, improve the environment on the pitch as much as we possibly can. Because there are already some brilliant people at the football club. 'Some of them I know and worked with here and I've spoken to over the last couple of days who I'm really excited to work with again, to see and link up with again. 'So to keep building on that and to bring our own twist on it and to win. I always want my teams to be aggressive, with and without the ball, and to be dominant.' The Rangers squad are currently on holiday and are not due back for pre-season until June 23. Martin will work alongside new sporting director Kevin Thelwell over the coming weeks to formulate plans around recruitment. It was also confirmed yesterday that Matt Gill, one of his long-time lieutenants, will come in as assistant manager, while Rhys Owen will join as a fitness and performance coach.
