Reverend Richard Coles will officiate a wedding on ‘Holby City’.
The famous clergyman will appear on the BBC1 medical drama next month in a special guest role to oversee the very happy occasion on December 11.
He said: "I’m thrilled to be invited finally to exercise my ministry of healing at Holby City, which has been my healthcare provider of choice for 20 years… and to officiate at an occasion so joyous even the late Professor Gaskell would have cracked a smile."
However, show bosses are keeping their cards close to their chest when it comes to which on-screen couple will be tying the knot over the festive season.
Three potential pairings have been teased by producers, with Serena (Catherine Russell) and Bernie (Jemma Regrave) a possibility along with Jason (Jules Robertson) and Greta (Zoe Groft), or Dom (David Ames) and Lofty (Lee Mead).
Executive producer Simon Harper added: "After a dark year for the hospital, ‘Holby’ is now revving up for Christmas and 2019 in this joyous episode celebrating love and commitment in all their diverse forms.
"As to which ‘Holby’ couple ends up actually tying the knot, I couldn’t possibly divulge, but I can say it’s an incredible honour to have the iconic Reverend Richard officiating!"
It has also been confirmed that the episode will feature a number of other guest appearances.
Joining the cast for the occasion are former ‘Emmerdale’ star Gemma Outen as Sydney Somers, Jenny Howe as Alexandra ‘Lexy’ Dunblane and Amanda Henderson as Robyn Miller.
