An excited Maria and Kelvin tied the knot in a intimate, private ceremony in Cheshire which they called "the best day of our lives".

Ex-The Only Way Is Essex star Maria Fowler revealed she secretly married her long-term partner on Saturday.

The reality star took to her Instagram stories on Sunday to confess the news to her fans and flash her huge diamond ring as she drove off on a minimoon with her new-husband Kelvin Batey.

The couple tied the knot at the idyllic Nunsmere Hall country house in Cheshire, with guests including Big Brother star Chanelle Hayes.

“So we’ve got something to tell you…we got married yesterday! Show them your ring,” an excited Maria said to Kelvin in her Instagram Stories.
