Liberty X’s Michelle Heaton and singer Andy Scott-Lee were married yesterday.

The 26-year-old bride wore an oyster-coloured gown draped in pearls and some serious bling from jeweller-to-the-stars Stephen Webster. The groom, also 26, wore a white morning suit and gold waistcoat. They both cried as they exchanged their vows.
