Dapper Laughs finally marries girlfriend three years after proposing live on Celebrity Big Brother
Dapper Laughs, whose real name is Daniel O’Reilly, has finally married his girlfriend Shelley Rae, three years after proposing on Celebrity Big Brother.
The couple’s wedding was stopped twice due to COVID, but they’ve finally tied the knot on a sunny day and looked as happy as ever as they posed outside of a double decker bus with ‘wedding special’ written on it.
The couple, who are parents to two daughters, got engaged in 2018 after a proposal on live television, after the comedian became the third contestant to leave the show.
During his exit interview with Emma Willis, Dapper Laughs, 38, turned to his then-girlfriend and said: “When I was in the house, every day I was regretting that I’ve never asked you this so, will you marry me?”
He added: “Sorry about the ring, Ginuwine made it for me. We’ll trade it in for better paper,” and said: “I’ll double check with your dad afterwards if that’s OK.”
Shelley looked beautiful for the big day in a wedding dress and veil, and she clutched onto a bouquet of blooms, as she posed next to her husband.
