The champagne and margaritas were flowing late into the night for around 150 of their nearest and dearest at the Victoria and Albert Museum in Chelsea.
A source told me: 'It was quite an intimate affair initially — they had a nice dinner with their closest friends and family to kick things off.
"Then more of their loved ones turned up to celebrate with them in style later in the evening.
'They all had a brilliant time and Mabel and Preye looked so in love.'
I'm told TV presenter Miquita Oliver — who Mabel has previously described as her 'big sister' — as well as her telly chef mum Andi Oliver, were among those celebrating at the V&A, which usually costs at least £10,000 to hire for wedding parties.
Mabel got engaged to Preye, son of former Spurs footballer Garth Crooks, last November.
After Preye popped the question, she proudly showed off her sparkling diamond ring in a video online.
In January she revealed their relationship is the 'healthiest' one she has ever been in.
Mabel also said recently that her mum, Swedish singer Neneh Cherry, 'just cries all the time' out of excitement about her wedding.
But it sounds like her dad, singer and producer Cameron McVey, might have been harder to impress — as he was not best pleased with one of her exes.

Earlier this month on YouTube series Comfortably Speaking, Mabel revealed: 'One time a guy pulled up to my dad's house in a Lamborghini and I remember my dad just being like, 'Never bring a man to my house again until you're serious'.'
She added of her parents: 'I think the thing that they are proudest of is that I'm more able to be myself and express myself.'
Mabel and Preye are obviously in Mad Love — and I for one couldn't be happier for them.

Netflix rom-com star joins cast of eye-opening WWII thriller as sinister new trailer drops
A new teaser trailer for upcoming historical thriller Nuremberg has left film fans with chills as they're all saying the same thing about the upcoming World War II drama Film enthusiasts have been left spellbound by the debut trailer for an eagerly awaited World War II drama that promises to be utterly compelling. Boasting a stellar ensemble of British and Hollywood stars, this gripping thriller will delve into one of the most pivotal post-war moments in unprecedented detail. No Time to Die and Oppenheimer actor Rami Malek takes on the role of American psychiatrist Douglas Kelley in the Sky Original production Nuremberg, the specialist charged with evaluating one of Adolf Hitler's most loyal Nazi associates. Prior to the landmark Nuremberg Trials, Kelley was given the responsibility of assessing the psychological state of senior Nazi officials before proceedings could commence. Gladiator legend Russell Crowe transforms into Hermann Göring, the Nazi military commander and Hitler's most devoted aide, reports the Express. The historical drama's synopsis states: "The film unfolds as a gripping cat-and-mouse drama. "Nuremberg features a stellar ensemble cast, including Michael Shannon, Richard E. Grant, and Leo Woodall as translator Howard Triest. "Set in the shadow of the unimaginable crimes committed during the war, Nuremberg explores the human mind at its most chilling and complex." Viewers will undoubtedly be thrilled to witness One Day heartthrob Woodall tackle his most demanding performance to date, appearing dramatically different from his charming romantic comedy persona. With Nuremberg set to hit UK cinemas this November, cinema-goers have been expressing their excitement, with one particular element of the production capturing widespread attention. Russell Crowe's latest role as Hermann Göring has certainly caught the attention of movie buffs, with one YouTube user expressing surprise: "I never thought I will see Russell 'Maximus' Crowe as Hermann Göring. "But here we go. Packed with great actors. I put on my watchlist 4 sure." Another viewer anticipates the release, replying: "What a great cast, and original storyline. Looking forward to it." A third chimes in with praise for the star-studded lineup: "So many excellent actors, it's going to be awesome," and adds, "This is how movies should be made."

However, not everyone on Reddit shared the same excitement, with some critical of the trailer. One user didn't mince words: "I can't think of anything worse that a bombastic movie about the Nuremberg trial featuring Russell Crowe butchering another accent," and sarcastically remarked, "Jesus what the hell was this trailer? Bwaaaaaah." Another Reddit user was unimpressed by the teaser: "This trailer kinda sucks lol I know it's a teaser but is it really going to have this weird a** style with that subject matter?" Yet, even the critics acknowledged the intriguing casting choices: "Very interesting cast though." With opinions divided, are you eager to see Nuremberg when it hits cinemas, or will you be skipping this WWII drama? Nuremberg will be released in UK cinemas on 14th November, 2025.

Adaptation of much-loved book branded 'worst movie ever' by furious fans
H.G. Wells' classic novel The War of the Worlds has been adapted for the screen, the stage and radio countless times since it was published in 1898, but the latest is said to be the worst yet A recent adaptation of H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds has been slammed as the "worst" in history by viewers. The timeless novel has been adapted numerous times for stage, screen and radio since its 1898 publication but, according to viewers, this year's version is the most disappointing yet. The film, starring Ice Cube, has sparked outrage among movie buffs, with a post on X going viral for highlighting the "fatal flaw" in the film adaptation. One disgruntled viewer even suggested that the producers should feel "ashamed" of their work, branding the film "one of the worst movies I've ever seen." Few had anything positive to say about the adaptation featuring the 56 year old rapper, who joins the likes of Tom Cruise, Orson Welles and Rafe Spall in the long list of stars who have appeared in adaptations of Wells' alien invasion tale. One irate viewer took to X to vent: "War of the Worlds (2025) is the worst adaption of the source material to date. It had no ideas beyond the found footage approach, and even then the film is struggling to find ways to present coherent scenes. "Ice Cube is so lost. Maybe one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Most of the film just doesn't make sense because they're trying to rush through a mountain of developments. "The viewer is left with a crazy amount of sensory and informational overload to the point where it's hard to focus on the screen. Universal should be ashamed of their work." Some were intrigued about the film's premise, with one enquiring: "Is the whole movie just Ice Cube watching YouTube and going 'hell nah'?" The reply was a straightforward "yup." Others wondered whether the Cube-starring adaptation might surpass the C Thomas Howell version of War of the Worlds for the dubious honour of "worst War of the Worlds adaptation." One enthusiast of the films remarked: "Haven't seen this yet, but I have seen the C Thomas Howell version (from the Asylum I think?) so the bar IS pretty low, 'worst adaption yet' pretty exciting!" Films considered not that great by viewers can occasionally possess a "so bad it's good" quality, making them ideal for group screenings or tongue-in-cheek viewing sessions. This War of the Worlds adaptation, according to the original poster, possesses all of that appeal. "It's ironic and unwatchable," they penned. "It's a uniquely rough watch. New levels of bad movie hilarity." In a follow-up comment, they remarked: "It is hilariously terrible. It's difficult to watch but it's often funny." Despite the alleged poor quality, many expressed eagerness to give the film a chance. One user commented: "I think I'll check it out. I don't know why War of the Worlds is such a difficult novel to adapt!" Another chimed in with: "It's a War of the Worlds with Ice Cube! That should be such an easy win."

I turned to ChatGPT to explain why my date went so wrong
'Let their action determine your next move – not your hope'. Staring down at my phone screen, I was so relieved to read these words. Trying to find the reason for yet another disastrous date, I had turned to the best source of clear, unbiased advice I could think of: ChatGPT. Sure, it wasn't exactly romantic but suddenly the patterns of my dating life were all starting to make sense, and I wasn't stuck in an agonising mental loop trying to figure it out. Two weeks previously, I had woken up in a hotel room, in a foreign city, rigid, shaking and tearful – my nervous system shot to pieces from a day spent masking and being on edge. My date had just left. I'd asked him if he thought we'd see each other again. 'It's not a hard yes but it's not a hard no,' he said. I understood he meant 'no'. I'd recently read a book about attachment styles and avoidant men and yet here I was again, rejected. Our first date had been amazing… How had it gone so wrong? Flashback to a couple of months earlier. I was back on the apps after a two-year break, and was just as bored as I'd been when I used them before. Too many men just wanted to text and never meet. X Factor icon Diana Vickers and Metro's dating expert Alice Giddings dive into your wildest sex, love, and dating dilemmas – every Tuesday. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube.

When a Dutch guy popped up, in town for a few days, I swiped past his profile because of its lack of detail. But, when he bypassed the small talk and suggested a spontaneous meet-up I thought, why not? I'd been planning on doing a nature hike the next day – he would either be good company or, at worst, good exercise for a couple of hours. I never count first meets as dates and I knew the hiking route was popular and safe. We arrived almost at the same time and he was easy to pick out from his photo. I wasn't immediately attracted – but he turned out to be excellent company. We talked about relationships, psychology and gender roles, careers, crypto, my kids and that fact he wanted children and a dog. When the hike was over, he suddenly kissed me. 'I just felt like kissing you, so I did,' he said. It was flattering, though I was mainly buzzing from the mental stimulation that comes from great conversation. So, How Did It Go? is a weekly series that will make you cringe with second-hand embarrassment or ooze with jealousy as people share their worst and best date stories. Want to spill the beans about your own awkward encounter or love story? Contact I suggested we meet again that evening and he agreed. Now I was counting it as a date. It was fun to do my hair and feel exhilarated about someone for the first time in ages. We flirted and kissed all night and had genuine, deep conversations. Three times he said, 'Well, if you come to Holland…' I got home at 5am on a high, faith in dating apps restored. We messaged a couple of times throughout his last day and I asked if he'd meant it that I should visit. His answer was a bit of a cold shower: 'The offer still stands but you'll have to get an Airbnb'. I talked myself round; I wouldn't be comfortable in someone's house after just one date, anyway. So I booked a flight and hotel for two months' time. We texted occasionally in the meantime, which was fine by me. He checked in about my flight and asked if there was anything I wanted to do. There were some cheesy, sexual messages which were not so fine by me but by then my flight was tied to a work trip and cancelling would have been expensive and complicated. He picked me up from the airport and he was friendly but not affectionate. I followed his lead but from the outset, I was confused about what the vibe was meant to be. Our second date was a long, boring day spent talking, hanging out and going to the cinema to see the new Bridget Jones. He was still an interesting conversationalist but it was completely platonic – he didn't flirt or touch me – and I was increasingly on edge, trying to work out what was going on while acting like things were fine. When we left the cinema, he suddenly asked, 'Would you like me to come to your hotel?' I said yes, thinking this would be how we got back to what it was like before. But when we got there, he whipped out a packet of condoms – and a sex toy. 'That's way too zero to 60 for me,' I told him. But I was looking for the missing connection and so had sex. He came, I didn't, he didn't seem to notice and, shocker, I didn't feel connected. Back home, I didn't expect to hear from him again but, a week later, he messaged to say he thought we should leave it there as 'an unexpected adventure'. I wasn't interested in him any longer but I was keen to understand what the hell happened, and I needed to know how to break my pattern of always being drawn to avoidant men. Most of all, I couldn't get one question out of my head: why would he invite me to visit (three times!) and then act completely uninterested and cold? That's when I thought of ChatGPT. I created a relationship therapist and trained it on attachment styles based on the book I'd read. I fed in a detailed account of both dates and the exported file of our short but, it turns out, revealing WhatsApp chats. ChatGPT immediately analysed all the signs he was avoidant and not genuinely interested. There were far more of them than I'd seen myself. His spontaneous kiss after the hike, asking if I wanted him to come back to my hotel – both could be interpreted as low-risk, high-reward plays if he wasn't invested in the outcome. The big mystery was solved when ChatGPT showed me how I had mistakenly heard a genuine invitation when what he had actually said was 'vague, polite, and non-committal, designed to keep the moment feeling warm without emotional responsibility […] which he never backed up with: Initiative. A plan. Clear interest in seeing you again.' It was clear how his non-invitation had dictated everything about the second date. If I'd known, I never would have gone. More Trending Since then, I've honestly enjoyed talking about dating with ChatGPT far more than the actual dates. I've used my AI therapist to unpick two previous disastrous experiences with avoidant men, mentally broken up with an unrequited two-year crush and reformulated my Hinge profile to add emotional depth specifically to repel avoidants. My profile no longer centres the idea that I'm fun, easy-going and available to hang out as that is catnip to them. I hardly get any matches now, which is great, actually.
