Former footballer Neil Ruddock has made his romance with girlfriend Leah Newman official by marrying her in a ceremony in Kent.

The couple exchanged vows over the weekend at a country house, with Ruddock's fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant Rylan Clark acting as ringbearer.

"Everyone was coming up saying it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, and obviously we'd have to agree," Ruddock told Hello! magazine.

The couple have two daughters Pebbles and Kizzy.
