Oh. It looks as though a certain cat is out of a certain bag. I’m very very happy of course but had hoped for a private wedding. Fat chance!

Spencer is a comedian and writer. The duo have made a formal application to marry at a register office in Fry’s home county of Norfolk and now have a year to tie to knot.

The legislation allowing same-sex marriages in England came into force in March 2014. Gay couples who were already in civil partnerships could convert this to a marriage from December 10.

Elton John and David Furnish were one of the first couples to marry following the legislation.
