Charli XCX cheekily reveals rocker husband George Daniel cried as they marry
Charli XCX has revealed a sweet detail of her wedding to George Daniel after they tied the knot this weekend. Social media was sent into a frenzy tonight when a video went viral from the couple's special day, confirming that they were now husband and wife. Charli herself later took to TikTok with a cheeky clip, using her own tune, Girl, so confusing, which features Lorde and recently became part of a trend on the app. The Apple hitmaker, 32, filmed herself in her Vivienne Westwood gown, strutting into the room before jokingly turning around and leaving, adding the text: 'when george isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle'. Giving an insight into her spouse's actual reaction, though, she added in her caption: 'luckily he did xx' So, it seems like her 1975 rocker is a big softie underneath! @charlixcx luckily he did xx ♬ original sound – will bottone In the comments, fans were beside themselves with joy after the pop power couple revealed they had wed, with plenty joking about the Chocolate hitmaker, 35, changing his name. 'CoNGRATS MRS AND MR XCX', wrote @sillylilcapricorn. 'Did he take ur last name and become George xcx', said @alex_whelan7. 'this is my royal wedding', declared @_.samc. 'Charli getting married with sunglasses… that's iconic', added @adiazarzarbens. Indeed, the Brit Award-winning pop queen is never without her signature black shades, making sure to add a touch of Brat to her bridal ensemble. Wowing everyone in a low-cut white mini-dress, the musician wore her raven locks down and covered by a lengthy veil, accessorising with her trademark sunnies ahead of the intimate ceremony. Charli—real name Charlotte Emma Aitchison—exchanged vows with George at Hackney Town Hall in London. According to The Mirror, there were only 20 friends and family in attendance, including 1975 drummer George's bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann. Frontman Matty Healy wasn't said to be there. As for the sticksman's attire, the groom opted for a traditional black suit and a white flower in his jacket to match his wife's bouquet. Their relaxed nuptials come after reports that Charli and George were planning a lavish Sicily wedding later this year. An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there. 'It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds, and visually it will be mesmerising. 'Charli and George said they wanted a massive party, and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night.' The source added: 'They have both had such a busy summer with massive shows, but from mid-August they're able to slow down and focus on their big day. 'It's going to be pretty star-studded too, with plenty of their celeb mates making the journey over to Sicily to watch them say 'I do.' Charli and George are so excited to become man and wife.' However, Charli revealed earlier this year that she was feeling nonchalant about her wedding plans and that she and George were more fussed about letting loose afterwards. 'We're both very chill, and we kind of just want to have a party. 'Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever. 'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.' Ahead of the wedding itself, George, who has been part of The 1975 since 2002, reportedly jetted to Ibiza for a wild stag do, accompanied by long-time pal Matty, 36, who is engaged to musician Gabbriette, 27. More Trending 'George has been busy this summer, but his mates were determined to take him on a stag do,' a source said of the Glastonbury headliner's plans. 'He flew to Ibiza for a couple of days for a raucous knees-up with his closest pals—including his bandmates—and party girl Charli was all for it.' Charli and George got engaged in November 2023 after a year of dating. Announcing the news at the time, Charli flashed her dazzling ring in an Instagram post with the caption: 'charli xcx and george f***ing for life!' Got a story?

Celebrations chocolate returns months after being pulled from Australian shelves
Chocolate lovers rejoice – Celebrations chocolates are making a comeback to Australia months after they was pulled from shelves. The popular box of confectionary was removed across Australian supermarkets in late 2024 after the Mars brand was unable to keep up with the increasing cost pressures and supply chain issues. The departure from Australian shelves sparked controversy online, including from influencer Russ Eats, who expressed his disappointment with the news on social media. On Thursday, the Mars brand confirmed boxes of Celebrations would be making a comeback, with the chocolates returning to shelves from mid-July. Prices will start at $16, with Mars favourites inside, including Snickers, Bounty, MilkyWay, Maltesers and the caramel and milk chocolate variations of Galaxy. Mars Wrigley managing director Ben Hill said the outrage inspired the brand to bring the beloved assortment back. 'The consumer response demanding the return of Celebrations last year was incredible, so we are thrilled to bring Celebrations back to supermarket shelves around the country,' he said. 'For decades, Celebrations has featured prominently at family gatherings, events and of course, celebrations of all kinds. 'We can't wait for everyone to enjoy them again and for hopefully many years to come.'
