Charli XCX will marry The 1975 drummer George Daniel in Sicily
My marital mole told me the Brat singer has chosen to wed The 1975 's drummer on the island, which is just off the coast of Italy.
And the couple aren't holding back when it comes to the budget, with insiders saying the final bill is close to six figures.
The insider said: ' Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there.
"It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerising.
'Charli and George said they wanted a massive party and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night.
'They have both had such a busy summer with massive shows, but from mid-August they're able to slow down and focus on their big day.
'It's going to be pretty star-studded too, with plenty of their celeb mates making the journey over to Sicily to watch them say 'I do'. Charli and George are so excited to become man and wife.'
It's the perfect end to an amazing year for the pair, who smashed their incredible sets at Glastonbury last month.
Bizarre revealed in November 2023 that they had got engaged after dating for a year.
On plans for her wedding, Charli said earlier this year: "We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party.
'Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever.
'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.'
Given there's no cut-off for the music or bar, I think this is going to be one epic celebration.

Watch the moment FURIOUS row explodes between Love Island's ‘strongest couple' as they head for split days before final
LOVE Island's 'strongest couple' found themselves in a furious row and could be heading for a split - just days before the final. The remaining Islanders played a game of Knowing Me, Knowing You - testing how well the couples know each other. 4 4 4 Dejon and Meg emerged as joint winners and therefore the "strongest couple". Despite this, the pair found themselves in an argument after the challenge. The boys had to answer which girl they'd couple up with - if their actual partner wasn't in the villa. Meg was left shocked when Dejon picked Yasmin, despite r ecent tensions with her, Shakira and Toni. The couple bickered as Dejon insisted he'd told Meg this before - but his girlfriend argued she didn't remember the conversation. In a first-look at tonight's instalment, it would appear they are still feuding. Speaking to Conor, Meg shares: "I'm not just gonna stand there. He's put Yas on a board again. "I take so much heat from these three girls. You've put on a board that you would recouple with Yas." Conor then interjected, saying Dejon "may have taken the question too literal". Meg added: "It's a challenge, I don't care about it. Love Island fans 'work out' why Dejon turned on Meg as villa's strongest couple hit the rocks days before final "At the end of the day, we're boyfriend and girlfriend. It doesn't matter." Dejon then approached, remarking: "You're going to stop talking as I'm walking past?" Hearing this, Meg repeated to her boyfriend what she'd just told Conor. She then continued: "He just gets so defensive over everything." Later on, the couple are sat together as Meg says: "I had a little chat with Yas. "Obviously, I don't know whether you know from the boys, but she wrote your name on the board yesterday. LOVE ISLAND 2025 - ALL the dumped stars so far LOVE Island 2025 is in its penultimate week.

My mother-in-law wore white to my wedding, then she excluded me from photos ‘in case it didn't work out'
A WOMAN has revealed the horror her mother-in-law unleashed on her wedding day. Taking to social media, the now wife revealed her husband's mother did everything she could to make the day about her, including wearing a white dress. 2 2 In the Reddit post, she shared two images from her wedding day and blurred out the faces. While you can often tell who is the bride by the white dress, these pictures were unclear as her mother-in-law decided to wear one too. In the first image, the bride and groom were surrounded by both of their parents, her mum wore an appropriate pink and black dress. But her mother-in-law decided to go all out wearing a white mid-length dress with a full skirt. She even put pink flowers on the neckline, similar to the bride's pink satin bow at the front of her dress. But that wasn't the only problem the bride faced on her wedding day 15 years ago. Taking to the Wedding Shaming forum, she said: "My MIL (mother-in-law) wore a white, short dress to the wedding. She also told me to get out of the frame for the 2nd pic." The next picture showed the groom and his mum hugging with her arms wrapped around him, something you'd find the happy couple posing for. The bride added: "First picture is our parents together, with us. She wanted to be next to my husband for every pic, so she abandoned her husband to pose with my mom when she switched sides. "She kept asking my photographer to take pics without me in them in case things didn't work out. I was fuming when I found out the reason my family hadn't RSVP-ed to my wedding - now they're uninvited "She took the photographer for like 10 minutes for a family-only shoot. "It was so embarrassing for my soul. 15 years later, she's still a butthole." People were horrified by the story and were quick to share their thoughts in the comments. Fortunately, the couple managed to escape her overbearing mother-in-law and moved to a different continent four months after the ceremony. One person wrote: "She seems like one of those gross mums who wishes she could have married her own son." Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. Another commented: "Beyond tacky and audacious. She looks like she's dressed for junior prom. His one finger just touching her hip while she's wrapped around him is killing me." "She looks terrible in that dress. She made a fool out of herself," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Jesus this is embarrassing to witness." "What fresh hell is this. So tacky,' claimed a fifth

How Jack P Shepherd's ex really feels about his VERY public wedding to Hanni – as one very important guest is missing
THE whole of Manchester came to a standstill as a beautiful bride walked down the aisle of the prestigious cathedral - the Coronation Street theme tune playing while some of soap's biggest names gathered together. It could have been a scene from a film, but it was in fact the real-life wedding of Corrie stalwart Jack P Shepherd and Hanni Treweek - but one notable face couldn't be seen among the crowds. 9 9 Insiders say that Jack's ex and mother of his two children, the long-suffering Lauren Shippey, was less than impressed by the whole affair, which has been compared to a royal wedding. Lauren was, perhaps unsurprisingly, not on the guest list for the star-studded event. Their son Reuben, 11, was, however, present - acting as his right-hand man as he entered the cathedral to much fanfare. But their daughter Nyla, 16, wasn't seen at the church or the bash later on that evening at the Lowry Hotel. An insider told The Sun: 'Lauren can't help but raise eyebrows about the whole thing. She has known Jack for a very long time and has two children with him, so she knows him very well. 'The wedding is not what she or anyone really expected, and the whole pomp and grandeur has left people scratching their heads. 'Her friends have been mocking him for acting like royalty, and she can see why. 'People seem to forget that Lauren went through a lot when she was with Jack - a secret love child and public fallouts over seeing the kids. 'She knows the real Jack.' Before the David Platt actor's romance with Hanni, he was engaged to childhood sweetheart Lauren. The pair were just 14 when they started dating, and they were together for 15 years before calling it quits. Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd marries Hanni Treweek in stunning star-studded ceremony Their relationship was rocked when it emerged that Jack had a secret love child, after a one-night stand with a sales executive called Sammy Milewski. Jack is said to have never met the child, who suffers from an incredibly rare and painful condition called AHC (Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood). Lauren initially threw Jack out, but she later decided to forgive his infidelity and just a month later, he presented her with a £3,000 engagement ring. The pair were never to marry, though, and six years on they announced their split in 2017. While they insisted they were still friends, things started to go downhill, and when Jack gushed about having a blended family in a magazine interview, Lauren hit back. What is AHC? Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is a rare neurological disorder. It causes repeated, transient attacks of hemiplegia (paralysis of a portion of the body, including the face) and can be very painful for the child. Triggers for attacks include environmental conditions, water exposure, light, physical activities, foods, emotional response, odours, fatigue and medications. Although named 'of childhood', those affected by AHC do not grow out of it. But episodes may change and sometimes decrease in frequency with age. While it can be managed with medication, there is currently no cure. 9 9 In 2020, she alleged that he wasn't seeing their children, telling The Sun at the time: 'It made me laugh. We're about as blended as a breeze block in a cement mixer. 'I'm speaking out now because Jack has used his celebrity status to give an interview which portrays a false image of how he behaves. Jack didn't see his children for almost four months. 'The public needs to know what Jack is really like. He's seen as a lovable rogue and a cheeky chap, but my children need him to be a dad rather than see him gallivanting around town. 'Hopefully, he will wake up and understand his behaviour is unacceptable before it's too late.' Lauren has since moved on with new man Ben, who she shares a four-year-old daughter with, named Halle Jean. The insider continued: 'Lauren has well and truly moved on with her life and has no hard feelings towards Jack. 'She did have a difficult time when they were together and has made no secret of the issues they have had in the past.' 9 Jack started dating his now wife, Hanni, in 2017. She was working in the press office for Coronation Street at the time. Despite being one of the longest-running cast members on Corrie, Jack has previously shied away from the public eye. But all that changed when he launched a podcast with best mates Colson Smith and Ben Price - and he started to enjoy sharing snippets of his life with his fans. Hanni also upped her game with content creation, sharing much of her life with Jack - including swanky holidays and fancy meals out. Then this year, Jack shocked his inner circle when he revealed he was going to do Celebrity Big Brother - a move said to be spurred by a desire to make more money for his upcoming wedding. The star, who makes £250,000 a year playing David, is said to have earned £100,000 for doing the show, which he ended up winning. And after seeing their wedding day, it's now clear to see why he wanted to make as much as he could. It was a no-expense-spared event, and they then jetted off for a luxurious and no doubt very pricey honeymoon in Italy … a far cry from Lauren's recent family holiday with the kids. 9 9
