Paul O’Grady secretly married his longtime partner Andre Portasio in a star-studded ceremony.
The Blind Date host reportedly wed the former English National Ballet star in an intimate ceremony at The Goring Hotel’s gardens earlier this month.
A source told The Sun, “Paul is as happy as he’s ever been to be married to Andre. They kept the wedding to just their closest family and friends and had a big lunch afterwards to celebrate.”
Guests at the idyllic wedding reportedly included Ian McKellen, Julian Clary and Michael Cashman.

On Paul and Andre’s wedding certificate it cites the star’s previous marriage was ‘dissolved’, in reference to his 1977 convenience marriage to Portuguese model Teresa Fernandez which ended in 2005.
Paul married Theresa after her family pressured her to marry, as he revealed to Woman magazine in 2011.
“Theresa, I call her the lesbian Portuguese barmaid, was lovely. She looked like David Cassidy.
“She was from a very strict Catholic family and was always being hassled by them, ‘Why aren’t you getting married?’ So I said: ‘Come on then, we’ll get married’, and we did.”
