Big Brother's Kate Lawler's stunning wedding day as she announces name change

Kate Lawler finally tied the knot with her partner Martin Bojtos this weekend - after two years of agonising setbacks.

The former Virgin radio presenter, 41, looked sensational in a white off the shoulder gown and diamond spiked tiara as she left the church holding hands with her new husband.

Hours after the ceremony the loved-up newlyweds revealed they had more exciting news to share as Kate had changed her name.

The former Big Brother champ took to her Instagam in the early hours of Sunday morning to post her update.

Dressed in a white silk robe and flashing her wedding ring, Kate told her followers that she and Martin were now "Mrs and Mrs Bojtos".

"Best day ever," she added as the hashtag.

Earlier in the day, Kate was pictured beaming as she left her Shoreditch ceremony hand in hand with Martin, who she refers to as Boj, to huge cheers from their friends and family.

The reality TV winner opted for a curve-hugging bridal dress with delicate lace and jewelled detailing and off the shoulder ruffled neckline and a show-stopping train.

Showing her excitement at finally saying 'I do', Kate threw her bouquet into the air triumphantly and screamed in delight on the venue steps.

She was joined by her equally thrilled bridesmaids, who wore striking black gowns to contrast Kate.

After the ceremony, Kate and Martin headed off to their reception in a white stretch limo.

Kate couldn't wipe the smile from her face as she headed off to the bash grinning beside her husband.

It was an extra special occasion for the pair, who had been forced to delay several times during the Covid pandemic.

Ahead of the service, Kate didn't show a shred of nerves as she shared videos of herself getting her hair and make-up done.

The pair had originally planned to get hitched in June 2020 before stalling until next year and then rearranged for June 2022.

As she prepared to finally tie the knot, Kate posted a special message to those who had supported her in the run up

"Sending all my love to any brides-to-be… Whether it's this weekend, this month or this year, I hope you have the most magical day! It's quite a surreal feeling the day before your wedding and this past week I've experienced a multitude of emotions! Poor Boj.

"I just want to say thank you for all of your lovely messages so far and in advance of tomorrow as I'm not sure how much I'll be on my phone but rest assured, I'll be checking in with my husband and flower girl at some point for a little surprise.

"I'm really looking forward to sharing snaps and videos of our wedding day on here with you guys, you've always been so supportive and kind, but most importantly I can't wait to finally be Mrs Bojtos (pronounced Boy-Tosh) for the rest of my days.

"Saying goodbye to The Handsome in 2 hours and the next time we see each other will he tomorrow at the town hall. I'm currently packing mine and Noa's suitcases, totally underestimated how much I needed to pack for my own wedding!"

it's been a rollercoaster few years for Kate who has spoken candidly about her struggles with mother hood.

The star admitted she had never wanted to be a mum while her partner for nine months was 'desperate.'

Kate said she was working on her relationship with Martin in the run-up to her wedding.

She told the White Wine Question Time podcast: "Since we became parents our relationship has changed so much. I want to say for the better, but sadly we both know, and we're acutely aware of this, that we haven't prioritised our relationship at all and we know that we need to take steps to improve it.

"We're getting married in two months and we've actually had like the hardest year as a couple so far."

In March Kate announced she was quitting Virgin Radio to focus on being a mum and her mental health.
