Charli XCX has confirmed her marriage to fiance and The 1975 drummer George Daniel.
The 32-year-old, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, could be seen wearing her wedding dress, and the dark sunglasses she has become known for following the release of her latest album, in a post on TikTok.
The TikTok read: "When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle."
Charli confirmed in the caption that "luckily" the 35-year-old drummer did cry.
In a separate post captioned "bridal party energy" Daniel could be seen wearing his wife's veil, while The Dare, who produced Charli's track Guess and whose real name is Harrison Smith, could also be seen at the party.
The wedding reportedly took place at Hackney Town Hall in London on Saturday, with the pair being spotted taking pictures with friends and family outside the venue, on social media.
The pair first shared photos of their engagement in 2023, and have worked together on a number of occasions collaborating on Charli track Spinning, before Daniel was credited as a co-producer and co-writer on two songs on Brat.
Daniel has also performed the viral "Apple dance" at one of his wife's London shows.

‘Absolutely not, immediately no' people cry as man proposes in Nando's with the big question written in mayonnaise

A MAN has been slated for his unconventional wedding proposal, after popping the big question to his beau by writing it out in mayonnaise. We all dream of a romantic proposal, with some choosing to take their partner to an exotic location, or share an intimate moment at home. Advertisement 2 A man decided to propose to his girlfriend in Nandos Credit: 2 The woman didn't seem to impressed by the proposal Credit: However, one man decided to take a very unique approach to popping the question, after taking his girlfriend out to their local Nando's. Taking to TikTok, Nando's waiter Mal shared a snap of the proposal, which he recorded whilst serving the couple. "POV: When he does the bare minimum proposal at Nando's", Mal said. In the video, Mal can be seen carrying a plate of mayonnaise over to the couple. Advertisement Read more real life stories Written in curly mayo writing is the misspelt phrase: "Will you mary me?" Mal then gave the woman at the table the ring, whilst her partner can be seen smiling and not saying a word, assumedly too shy to pop the question himself. He doesn't stand up, or even get down on one knee, with Mal revealing that his legs "curled round that chair." The waiter said that the woman was left extremely perplexed by the unique proposal, and was unsure how to respond. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Exclusive He said that she sat confused for 10 minutes, before finally saying yes to the proposal. However, he added that they didn't even kiss after agreeing to spend the rest of their lives together, and instead just chose to hug. Love Island stars slam Dejon over 'worst exclusive proposal in show history' "He could have put way more thought into it", Mal critiqued, adding that the man had even turned up late to the proposal. The video, posted to Mal's TikTok account ( Advertisement TikTok users raced to the comments section to share their thoughts, with many left unimpressed. One person said: "It literally doesn't cost a thing to get down on one knee and propose. How to ace a proposal Thinking of proposing? Follow this checklist by Fabulous' Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths to ensure a yes… Time it right - the average Brit waits between 18 months and two years to get engaged. But you might feel ready after six months, or decide to wait five plus years to pop the question. Only you truly know when the time's right, and this isn't a decision you want to rush. Falling in love might feel amazing but of course most relationships DON'T end in marriage - and this is for good reason… Pay attention - hopefully you haven't reached the point yet of your frustrated partner leaving their laptop open with 'hints' for rings they like. Ideally you'll want the ring to be a secret, but also something they'd happily wear - and for the rest of their life, so just a TEENY bit of pressure here. You need to be paying attention to any comments your partner makes about other people's rings, what they do and don't like, and what's most important to them - size, clarity, specific details. If you're really unsure, or if your partner hates surprises, it's best to propose with a dummy and then buy the real thing together. Family matters - tradition dictates that you ask the dad's permission for his daughter's hand in marriage, but it's not so straightforward nowadays. Maybe your partner's closer to their step-dad, or wants her mum to walk her down the aisle, in which case you'd be better off chatting to them. Maybe they'd find it weird if you went to their parents first, in which case you could ditch the whole thing. Or perhaps they're closer to their friends and the best idea would be letting your partner's best mate pick the ring. These things do matter and could come back to bite you if handled in the wrong way. Plan the setting - does your partner dread being centre of attention, or are they someone who'd be gutted if you proposed at home, berating you forever for a lack of 'effort'? Plan the place for your perfect proposal - how busy it'll be, whether you'll be able to get a good pic there, and other logistics around it. A proposal at the top of a mountain might sound good in theory but your girlfriend might not actually appreciate it when there's sweat dripping down her forehead and she's not wearing the cute dress she'd imagined for the pictures. Personally, I can't think of anything worse than a public proposal where everyone's waiting to hear your answer - in a group of friends, the middle of a restaurant or with an announcement at an event. So bear all of this in mind and remember, it's meant to be about what THEY want, not you. "You can do it in Nandos, sure, but at least get down on one knee and tell her why you want to marry her." A second person said: "Immediately, no. Advertisement "The least he could do is stand up." A third said: "Absolutely not." A fourth added: "Gonna be honest here. I would pass him."

Love Is Blind star, 29, shows off results of hair transplant and reveals staggering five-figure sum it cost him

LOVE Is Blind star Jimmy Presnell has shown off the results of his hair transplant, revealing the staggering five-figure sum it cost him. Jimmy, 29, who found fame on the Netflix dating show this year, took to TikTok to share the cost - as well as why he decided to have it done in the U.S. rather than abroad. 4 Love Is Blind star Jimmy Presnell has shown off the results of his hair transplant Credit: Instagram He told fans on TikTok: 'I decided to stay in the states for my procedure, which typically is a little bit more expensive to do. "But there's a lot of things that come with that, and I'll explain that as well.' In the video, Jimmy told his nearly 90,000 followers that he booked in with Solve Clinics, based in the River North area of Chicago. He added: 'They charge roughly $5 a graft. I had a little over 2,000 grafts, I think 2,100 or 2,200. So roughly 10, 11 grand for the procedure." read more on Love Is Blind While many people head to countries like Turkey for cheaper treatment, Jimmy said he wasn't keen on that route. He said: 'When I was going through the evaluation process, I was getting quotes anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000. 'It included flight, it included hotel, all that good stuff, but there was no ongoing consultation or talking to your surgeon. "So they just pretty much send you home after the surgery. You don't really have any type of relationship.' Most read in Reality Alongside the transplant itself, he's also been paying for extra treatments to boost the results. He explained: 'I have been doing PRP, which I've made some videos on that and what that kind of entails, and those typically run anywhere from 400 to $600,' referring to platelet-rich plasma therapy. First look at Love Is Blind UK series two with Matt and Emma Willis as Netflix reveals launch date Jimmy first documented the procedure back in December, posting daily updates as he healed. Just three days after going under the knife, he revealed: 'It's swollen bad. It hurts to smile, it hurts to laugh. My head definitely feels super dry.' He also made it clear the goal wasn't to wind the clock back completely, adding: 'I didn't want to try to have a hairline of a 17 or 18-year-old. It's not realistic. "I wanted to look my age and have thicker, healthier-looking hair . That's the goal here.' More recently, Jimmy marked the six-month point since surgery by posting a progress update on Instagram for his 274,000 followers. 'Officially 6 months post hair transplant with @solveclinics,' he captioned the clip. 'Super excited where I'm at already! Even more excited to see where it'll go!' Leaning in to show his new hairline, he told viewers: 'I saw a ton of growth in months four, five, and six.' And now? 'It's getting thicker and thicker as the days go on.' Jimmy shot to fame earlier this year when he appeared on Love Is Blind, where his ex-fiancée Chelsea made headlines for comparing herself to Megan Fox. Hair Loss 101 HAIR pro Why Does Hair Loss Happen? Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices. Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength. It's perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors. Why It Happens More This Time of Year Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That's seasonal shedding! During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun. As the weather cools, it's like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands. Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months. Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss The great news? You don't need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair. Try daily scalp massages—they're so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles. Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that's rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands. Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health. Products to Avoid Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens - they can be drying and damage hair over time. Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly. Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons. 4 Jimmy paid $11k for the procedure Credit: Instagram 4 He is pictured on the day of the op Credit: Instagram 4 He found fame on the Netflix dating show this year Credit: Netflix

Ten Minutes with... Lex Bucha

DUBLIN-based indie pop artist Lex Bucha has released his debut EP, Painless Mode. This week he took time out to talk to The Irish Post... What are you up to? Right now, I'm in Dublin and I am enjoying this beautiful whirlwind of writing, recording, and releasing music that feels like my most personal work yet. I just released my debut EP Painless Mode —it's mostly about moments of confronting emotions I have tried to bury, and it's been amazing seeing how people have connected with it. I've also been collaborating with other artists and producers across Europe, jumping between writing camps, and soaking up as much creative energy as I can. And yes… more music is on the way very soon! How would you describe your music? I'd say it's like a heart-to-heart conversation—emotional, a little vulnerable, but wrapped in melodies that make you want to sing along (or maybe cry on a dancefloor!). It's a blend of electro-pop, alt-pop, and singer-songwriter vibes. If you imagine Troye Sivan and The 1975 sitting down for coffee and writing songs together… it might sound something like that. Which piece of music always sends a shiver down your spine? Breathe Me by Sia. Every single time. It's like the soundtrack to every heartbreak and every healing moment I've ever had. There's something about how fragile and raw it is that never fails to hit me right in the chest. Tearjerker every time I listen. Which musician or singer has most influenced you? Robyn, without a doubt. She has this magical way of writing songs that are devastating and euphoric at the same time. I love how she's never afraid to be vulnerable, but she also makes you want to dance through your feelings - which honestly sums up how I try to approach my own music too. What's on your smartphone playlist at the minute? It's a bit chaotic—in the best way! I've been obsessed with RAYE's latest album (absolute masterpiece), Lana Del Rey for those late-night city walks, and Orla Gartland, who always nails that perfect mix of clever lyrics and catchy melodies. Oh, and I'm forever looping some classics like HURTS and Shakespeare's Sister. My playlists are basically an emotional rollercoaster. What are your favourite lyrics? Oh, this one's tough because I'm a total lyrics nerd! But I always go back to: 'I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here / 'Cause I remember it all too well' from Taylor Swift's All Too Well.' It's so simple but gut-wrenching. She somehow captured heartbreak in one line. What are your family roots in Ireland? My roots are split between Ireland, the UK and Malta, which basically means I have a deep love for storytelling, a strong cup of tea, and a pastizzi! In Ireland, my family are based around Antrim, but I have become a Dubliner over the past five years of living here - you've probably seen me hanging around Stoneybatter, especially if you've been in the Belfry recently. What is your favourite place in Ireland? Donegal - hands down. It feels like the edge of the world, in the most magical way. The scenery is breathtaking, and there's such a sense of calm there - it's like everything else just fades away. Plus, the music scene there is incredible. It's where I go to reconnect with myself and get inspired. Shout out to Dungloe. What has been your favourite venue? The Workman's Club (the cellar room) in Dublin will always be special to me. There's just something about the energy in that room - it's intimate, raw, and there's this beautiful connection between the artist and the audience. I love the lightening and decor there also. Have you a book that has been a major influence on you? The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron completely changed how I approach creativity. It taught me to let go of perfectionism and just make things - whether it's a messy lyric idea or a fully-formed song. It's like therapy in book form for artists. Which living person do you most admire? Sandra Bullock. She's funny, brutally honest, and completely herself, both on and off camera. I admire how she's built her career by staying true to her weird, wonderful self. Miss Congeniality is my favourite movie ever. Which trait in others do you most admire? Kindness. It's the quiet superpower that makes the world a better place. You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat others when no one's watching. I always try to be kind to everyone. What would be your motto? 'Feel it fully, then let it go.' It's how I try to approach life - and songwriting! I process things with my songwriting - but its important to close the door on the pain once you have got it out. What's the best advice you've ever been given? 'Don't wait for permission.' That one really stuck with me. In music, in life, in everything—you have to trust yourself and just go for it, even if it feels scary. In terms of inanimate objects, what is your most precious possession? My lyric notebook. It's full of messy scribbles, half-finished verses, and random thoughts. Honestly, it's probably the closest thing I have to a diary. If I ever lost it… I'd cry. Also my phone - guilty of needing it for everything in my life lately. What's best thing about where you live? The cafes - Stoneybatter is full of them. I love a good Italian bite from Mooz or baked good from The Green Door. Recommend also Sorrento for a good baked good if you can catch them open! . . . and the worst? Definitely the rain! It's Dublin - it's like a surprise guest that just never leaves. I love a cosy rainy day every now and then, but sometimes it feels like we're living inside a cloud. What's the greatest lesson life has taught you? That nothing stays the same forever—everything shifts, evolves, and moves forward. Learning to ride those waves instead of fighting them has been a huge lesson for me. What do you believe in? I believe in the power of music to heal and connect people. It's this magical language that brings us together, even when words fail. Who/what is the greatest love of your life? Music. It's been with me through every heartbreak, every celebration, every big moment. It's more than just something I do—it's a part of who I am. I feel lucky to be in a position to release music.
