Claire Sweeney wows fans as she's set to be bridesmaid alongside Kate Moss
Claire Sweeney is reportedly acting as a bridesmaid at the wedding of DJ Fat Tony and Stavros Agapiou - with Kate Moss and Gemma Collins also said to be taking on the role
Claire Sweeney was dazzling and ready to party as she joined the wedding celebrations of a legendary DJ. The 54-year-old soap icon was among the guests attending the nuptials of Tony Marnach, who is better known by his stage name, DJ Fat Tony, 58.
The music enthusiast was set to swap vows in front of a wide variety of celebrities as he married his fiancé Stavros Agapiou, 32, on Saturday. Claire took to social media ahead of the ceremony to give fans a look at the glitzy outfit she had selected for the happy event.
Taking to Instagram Stories, the Brookside star posed in a dress by Eliza Jane Howell Evening Wear. The gown shimmered with sequins and included a floral design.
The singer and actress added a glittering gold shawl with a dramatic feathered fringe as she prepared to cheer on the boys. Posing with her son Jaxon, 13, whom she shares with her ex Daniel Reilly, the star wrote: "Ready for the wedding of the year @dj_fattony_ @stavrosagapiou."
Claire was to be in good company as stars from the world of fashion, music and reality shows gathered together for the ceremony. A list icon Kate Moss and former The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins were tipped to be taking on roles of bridesmaid at the wedding, while other reports have suggested Claire too could be taking part in the ceremony as a bridesmaid.
The Daily Mail claimed: "The event is said to be taking place at a church in West London, with the likes of David and Victoria Beckham and David Furnish mingling alongside Alison Hammond and Jedward, while Tony previously revealed that he wanted Boy George as his best man."
And 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."
Music star Boy George, whose real name is George Alan O'Dowd, 63, was expected to serve as best man on the day. Ahead of the wedding, Tony had expressed his joy at finding his one true love.
The morning of the wedding, the DJ shared an Instagram post declaring: "Love Wins" alongside the names Tony and Stavros alongside the date. He added in a caption: "Here we stand at the beginning ………. The happiest chapter of my life."
Daisy Lowe was among those cheering on the couple in the comments section. She wrote in reaction: "Biggest congratulations and love to you both."
Tony has previously discussed the church he planned to get married in - with a church in Earls Court singled out for the wedding location. The building is known for honouring those who died of HIV and AIDS in the eighties and nineties.
He said in 2023: "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."
