DJ Fat Tony was surprised with an unlikely wedding cake as he danced the night away with his new husband Stavros Agapiou at their star-studded nuptials. Tony, 58, and Stavros, 32, who have been engaged since October 2023, made it official at the Welsh Chapel in Charing Cross, before heading to the swanky Londoner Hotel for the glitzy reception. In snaps shared by Tony's pals on social media, it was revealed that the wedding cake was far from an understated affair, with each layer boasting letters which spelt out the word 'c**t.' Another snap showed the pair flaunting their best dance moves at the reception after exchanging their vows. Following the ceremony, Tony also took to the stage alongside his new husband to thank the guests in attendance, with the stunning venue decorated with white roses for the occasion.

An A-list array of guests joined the couple to celebrate on their special day including Coronation Street's Claire Sweeney, TOWIE 's Gemma Collins and Davina McCall, with the likes of the Beckhams and Kate Moss also slated to attend. For his special day, Tony was among the first to arrive at the chapel and was joined by singer Boy George as he prepared to exchange vows with his partner Stavros. The renowned music star, real name Tony Marnach, cut a very dapper figure in an all-black suit featuring a silver brooch. Stavros arrived not long after Tony, and opted for an all-white look, which was made up of a blazer, waistcoat and quirky shorts. Davina McCall turned heads in a bright orange mini dress as she arrived to the chapel holding hands with her partner Michael Douglas. Kelly Osbourne opted for a black sleeveless dress while her locks were styled into a sleek bun for the day. Others in attendance included EastEnders stars Patsy Palmer and Jessie Wallace and fellow actress Jaime Winstone. Earlier in the day, Boy George got ready in the hotel with Claire and her son Jaxon, who she shares with her ex Daniel Reilly. Claire, 54, who is believed to be serving as a bridesmaid, took to Instagram to share some very glamorous photographs from her hotel room. 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. The likes of David and Victoria Beckham and David Furnish would 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.' 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 pair have been engaged since October 2023 after Tony popped the question during a romantic trip to New York.
