Fat Tony's wedding kicks off in style as DJ, 58, arrives flanked by longtime pal Boy George for his London nuptials before exchanging vows with Stavros Agapiou
DJ Fat Tony and his partner Stavros Agapiou are tying the knot in front of their A-list friends in a lavish ceremony in London on Saturday.
Tony, 58, and Stavros, 32, who have been engaged since October 2023, are making it official at the Welsh Chapel in Charing Cross, before heading to the swanky Londoner Hotel for the reception.
And Tony's was among the first to arrive at the chapel and was joined by singer Boy George as he prepared to say 'I do'.
With Tony being hugely popular on the celebrity circuit, it's little surprise that the nuptials hosted an eclectic star-studded guestlist and an A-list performance from none other than Kylie Minogue for the evening celebrations.
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 likes of David and Victoria Beckham and David Furnish will be 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'.
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.
In a video shared to Fat Tony's Instagram, Davina, 57, could be seen beaming into the camera as she remarked: 'Tony, Stavros, I'm so excited because the forecast for Saturday is amazing!
'I'm so happy for you guys, I'm so excited, I'm so excited to give you both a hug and welcome in this new and brilliant phase of your life. And I'm just sending you both so much love.
'I hope you're not too stressed, I don't think you will be. I'm really, me and Michael [Douglas, her partner] are really looking forward to celebrating with you both on Saturday. We love you so much. Love you, bye.'

Illegal immigrant can stay in UK for daughter he does not speak to
An asylum judge allowed an illegal immigrant stay in Britain despite ' contradictory findings ' that his relationship with his daughter was good – but had also broken down. Andrew Kung'u Gichuhi, from Kenya, won his appeal to remain in the country, with a new hearing pending, after an immigration judge said Mr Gichuhi could stay in the UK because he had a 'genuine and subsisting' relationship with his daughter, and it would not be right to expect her to leave Britain. But, later on in her judgment, she appeared to contradict her earlier comments, saying there had been a breakdown in the father-daughter relationship. After the Home Office argued that her findings were 'irrational', an upper tribunal judge has now ruled that Mr Gichuhi's claim should be heard again. The case, disclosed in court papers, is the latest example uncovered by The Telegraph in which illegal migrants or convicted foreign criminals have been able to remain in the UK or halt their deportations on human rights grounds. 'Irrational' ruling Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, has announced plans to kerb judges' powers to block deportations with new 'common sense' rules to clarify how they interpret the Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) article eight, which provides the right to a family life. The Home Secretary's rules are also intended to strengthen the public interest test, in which courts need to be hold themselves accountable and only grant exceptions to laws with justified reasons. Mr Gichuhi was living in the UK illegally as an unmarried partner of a British national when he applied for citizenship. The Home Office rejected his application, arguing that there were 'no insurmountable obstacles to family life with his partner continuing in Kenya'. The Home Office said he did not have a 'genuine and subsisting' relationship with his daughter, from a previous marriage. Mr Gichuhi appealed the decision to a lower-tier tribunal. The unnamed judge found that there was a 'genuine and subsisting' parental relationship between Gichuhi and his daughter, who 'could not reasonably be expected to leave the United Kingdom'. But later in the judgment, she said the relationship was 'broken down' and that there was 'no contact' between the Mr Gichuhi and his daughter. In the appeal against the 'irrational' finding, the Home Office said 'a relationship could not be both genuine and subsisting and broken down'. It added the judge had also been 'speculating about the possibility of future contact'. Those representing Mr Gichuhi argued that the judge had been 'entitled' to find that the relationship was subsisting, because he sent £100 a month to his daughter's bank account. They said he sent the money on an 'entirely voluntary basis', and his daughter had not returned the money. However, while they argued that a relationship could be 'genuine and subsisting' in 'the absence of contact', they accepted that 'subsisting was the antithesis of broken down'. For this reason, Mr Gichuhi's lawyers accepted that the judge's position was 'at least contradictory' and she had not explained how 'the contradictory positions were reconciled'. Upper Tribunal Judges Adrian Seelhoff and Sean O'Brien concluded: 'Consequently, the judge's finding at that [Mr Gichuhi's] relationship with his daughter had 'broken down' is inconsistent with her finding later in that paragraph that it was 'subsisting'. 'No attempt had been made to reconcile these contradictory findings. It follows that the judge's decision involved the making of an error of law.' They ruled that the case must be reheard afresh by another judge.

Husband admits manslaughter after wife stabbed to death as she pushed baby in pram
Why you can trust Sky News A man accused of stabbing his wife to death as she pushed their baby in a pram has pleaded guilty to her manslaughter. Kulsuma Akter, 27, died after being stabbed several times in Bradford city centre on 6 April last year. Her husband, Habibur Masum, 26, pleaded guilty on Thursday to her manslaughter and possession of a knife. He denied her murder, however, and is due to go on trial on Monday at Bradford Crown Court. He had also denied at an earlier hearing two charges of assault, one count of making threats to kill and one charge of stalking. Masum is accused of stalking Ms Akter between November 2023 and April 2024. He allegedly "tracked her movements and located her at a safe house", sent her "menacing" messages in which he threatened to kill her and sent pictures of where she lived. He is also allegedly "loitered in the area of her temporary residence". The charge alleges he caused her "alarm or distress" and to "fear that violence would be used against her". Ms Akter was taken to hospital last April after being stabbed several times during the incident in Westgate at the junction with Drewton Road. She later died from her injuries. The baby was not harmed in the incident, police said.
