Greg James has got married.
The BBC Radio 1 DJ secretly tied the knot with his long-time partner Bella Mackie, just seven months after she popped the question, and admitted he could "burst with happiness" after cementing his love for the 31-year-old journalist at their special ceremony.
Sharing a series of professional photographs from their special day on Twitter, the 32-year-old hunk – who has previously dated pop star Ellie Goulding – wrote: "Bella and I got married and it was the most incredible day of my life. I think it was up there for her too. She is the best thing ever and I feel like I might actually burst with happiness (sic)"
Greg – who recently took over from Nick Grimshaw as host of the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show – had Ibiza Rocks’ resident DJ Patrick Nazemi spin the decks at their wedding reception.
Greg’s colleagues Matt Edmondson and Mollie King took to the airwaves to congratulate the pair by dedicating Tom Grennan’s ‘Found What I’ve Been Looking For’ to them.
The ‘Sounds Like Friday Night’ presenter took to Instagram in February to announce that Bella asked for his hand in marriage, and he "immediately" accepted her proposal, because she is the "smartest, funniest and most beautiful" person he has ever met.
He wrote: "Oh while we’re doing announcements, here’s something else…I’m having the time of my life and enjoying my work more than ever. I feel really content and it’s nice to have my s**t together before I undertake a huge new work challenge. One of the main reasons for this happiness is because I met this person. This is Bella and in February she asked me to marry her. I said yes immediately because she is the smartest, funniest and most beautiful person I’ve ever met. (sic)"
Greg shared a picture of himself giving Bella a kiss on the cheek and joked there was one issue with their engagement in that she likes to stay up late – in a nod to the announcement that he would be taking over hosting duties the Breakfast Show.
He added: "The only problem is she loves staying up into the early hours drinking as much as I do and this is not conducive with 5am alarms. That said, it’s been quite a year.(sic)"
Scott Mills took over hosting duties from Greg on Monday morning (24.09.18).
