EXCLUSIVE Comedian Dave Hughes reveals what REALLY happened inside Mel B's chaotic wedding and says he feared the groom would be left at the altar - as fans go wild over his 'hot wife' Holly
has revealed what really went down inside Mel B 's star-studded wedding to long-time partner and hairstylist Rory McPhee. The Aussie comedian, 54, attended the lavish ceremony at London's iconic St Paul's Cathedral on Saturday, having formed a friendship with the couple while filming The Masked Singer Australia. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Dave posted a video and photos from the big day, including a glamorous selfie with Mel B and Holly, and a cheeky clip showing the couple catching the Tube to the venue. 'Holly and I had a fantastic time at Mel and Rory's wedding at St Paul's Cathedral Saturday,' he captioned the post. 'Got to know both of them on Masked Singer and was stoked to watch them tie the knot. All class day celebrating an all class couple. A great time had by all.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. But speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, Hughes revealed there were a few unexpected moments inside the ceremony that didn't make it to social media. 'Mel was half an hour late,' he said. 'I was slightly concerned Rory was gonna be left at the aisle in his kilt - no undies and no bride. But she turned up!' He added, 'Mel's little dog was entrusted to bring the ring down the aisle but she got lost and had to be chased around the chapel. Funny moment!' Despite the delays, the ceremony was filled with memorable touches. 'The choir were magnificent and the vicar even used a Spice Girls line in his homily,' Dave revealed. Guests were then transported to a glamorous reception at The Shard in vintage double decker buses, where Spice Girl Emma Bunton and comedian Alan Carr mingled with family and close friends. 'There were thousands of people waiting outside the church - heaps of paparazzi. They didn't take any pics of me. Hurtful,' he joked. 'Emma Bunton is a lovely person. Alan Carr was a good laugh and loved Holly.' But it was Dave's wife Holly who ended up stealing the show online. She turned heads in an off-shoulder yellow and white floral frock teamed with a cream fascinator - and fans quickly took to the comments section to share their thoughts. 'Holly wife looking stunning as always,' one fan gushed. 'Hughesy you're punching above your weight with Beautiful Holly there! Good luck to you,' added another. 'Holly - what a bomb! Dave - looking sharp,' chimed a third. Hughes laughed off the attention, telling Daily Mail: 'Have had 23 years of 'punching above weight' comments. Take them as a compliment!' The Masked Singer star previously revealed that he almost missed the wedding invite due to filming I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in South Africa. 'When I was in the jungle, it was a month with no contact,' he said. 'The invite was sent by Mel's wedding planner not long after I entered – I only found it once I got home and checked my emails.' 'I quickly emailed back, 'Yes… we want to go to the wedding!' He added that the wedding date couldn't have been better timed: 'We'd booked this holiday in advance and the wedding was a day in between a couple of gigs I'm doing, so it's a perfectly situated wedding date.' The wedding celebrations came just days after Hughes made headlines for a fiery encounter at Wimbledon, which he recounted on his radio show. 'This English bloke behind us just would not shut up through the match,' he said. 'Eventually I said, 'Mate, can you just be quiet?' Everyone around us was happy I did it. What is it with entitled English w**kers?!' Dave and Holly married on New Year's Eve in 2006 and share three children: Rafferty, 15, Sadie, 13, and Tess, 11.

Melanie C was "beyond gutted" to miss Mel B's wedding on Saturday (05.07.25). The 51-year-old pop star couldn't attend Mel and Rory McPhee's wedding at St Paul's Cathedral in London, but she still took to social media to voice her support for her Spice Girls bandmate. Melanie wrote: "So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!" Victoria Beckham, another of Mel's bandmates, was also absent from the wedding. However, she took to social media in support of the 50-year-old star. Victoria - who is married to soccer star David Beckham - said on Instagram: "Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx (sic)" In another post, Victoria described Rory as a "very lucky man". The singer-turned-designer said: "Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx (sic)" An insider has suggested that a scheduling conflict stopped Victoria from attending the ceremony. A source told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can't be there." Emma Bunton was the only Spice Girl in attendance at wedding, where she was joined by her husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17. Mel – who was previously married to Jimmy Gulzar between 1998 and 2000 and Stephen Belafonte from 2007 until 2016 – wore a traditional white gown, adorned with pearls, for the wedding. The couple posed for pictures on the steps of the historic venue and shared a kiss, before heading to The Shard for their wedding reception. Meanwhile, the loved-up duo previously opened up about Rory's proposal, with the groom admitting that he felt "so nervous" before popping the question. He told HELLO! Magazine: "I was so nervous, my lips were trembling. I'd spent ages writing down all these things I wanted to say, but when it came to it, I just babbled." Despite this, Mel insisted that Rory's proposal was "lovely". She shared: "It was lovely, what you said. He told me he loved me, that I was his best friend and that he wanted to be with me for the rest of our lives."

What happened to Girl Power? Geri Halliwell and Mel C fail to acknowledge Mel B's wedding as they skip nuptials - while Victoria Beckham shares tribute despite absence and Emma Bunton is the only Spice Girl to attend
Geri Halliwell and Mel C have so far failed to acknowledge their Spice Girl's bandmate Mel B 's star-studded wedding on Saturday. The pair were both notably absent as Mel said 'I do' to her fiance Rory McPhee at St Paul's Cathedral in London in front of a string of very A-list guests. In fact, Emma Bunton was the only Spice Girl to attend as Victoria Beckham also missed the ceremony - though she shared some sweet words online despite her absence. Ginger Spice Geri, 52, has so far not mentioned the wedding on her social media while Sporty Spice Mel C, 51, has also remained silent publicly on the big day. But Posh, 51, took to Instagram to share a sweet black and white throwback of herself and the bride with bandmates Geri, Mel C and Emma. She captioned the snap: 'Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx' Geri and Mel C were both notably absent as Mel B said 'I do' to her fiance Rory McPhee at St Paul's Cathedral in London in front of a string of very A-list guests Hours earlier, Victoria had also posted another tribute to the couple on Friday with a photograph of herself and Mel looking glamorous together at a recent event. She gushed in a caption: 'Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx' Ahead of the wedding, sources told the Mail that there was no bad blood between Victoria and Mel but was simply a scheduling conflict. They said: 'Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can't be there. 'She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It's a real shame. 'There is no issue between them, they haven't fallen out. It's just one of those things.' As for Geri, she and Mel have a tempestuous relationship and at times have struggled to be in the same room without there being animosity. The two women went to war after Mel B revealed that she had an intimate relationship with Geri when the band was starting out while she was being interviewed for Piers Morgan's Life Stories programme. Geri was said to have been deeply upset by the bombshell revelation in 2019, for which Mel has apparently never apologised. Sources also say that Geri's husband Christian Horner was 'mortified' about Mel's claims. Though the other Spice Girls were absent, Emma was in attendance and looked gorgeous in a stylish pink dress as she stepped out to support Mel B. Emma was accompanied by husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17, with both men looking dapper for the big day. After heading out of the cathedral, Baby Spice kindly stopped and signed her autograph for an eager fan. Mel walked down the aisle for the third time in front of her celebrity friends on Saturday afternoon as she finally became Mrs McPhee. She looked every inch the blushing bride in a pearl-adorned white gown as she married Rory during the stunning ceremony. Her gown featured a sheer illusion design adorned with white pearls and a ruched bodice, with the singer adding a flowing veil to her bridal look. Meanwhile, groom Rory, 37, opted for traditional Scottish attire complete with a red and green tartan kilt. Mel arrived in a white Bentley to her wedding and flashed a radiant smile and adjusted her veil as she prepared to head inside. Meanwhile, Mel's children Phoenix Chi, Madison and Angel Iris were all smiles as they arrived to see their mother walk down the aisle. Phoenix, 26, looked lovely in a blue silk dress and coordinating fascinator, and was accompanied by partner AJ Anderson. Sibling Angel, 18, who now identifies as a male, looked smart in a black suit, while sister Madison, 13, caught the eye in a bright pink dress and matching head piece. Celebrities in attendance include TV presenters Gaby Roslin and Angellica Bell, comedians Katherine Ryan and Alan Carr. Leigh Francis, Cara Delevingne as well as the Spice Girls' former manager Simon Fueller were pictured at the ceremony. Mel was able to get married at St Paul's Cathedral because of her OBE, which she got in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women, especially Woman's Aid. It is the third time that Mel said 'I do' after first marrying Dutch backing dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998. And when she wed Stephen Belafonte in 2007, they eloped to Las Vegas before holding a vow renewal in Egypt the following year. Mel and Stephen separated in 2016 when she accused him of emotional and physical abuse, which he has always denied. His lawyers said that during the marriage they spent her £50million fortune. Mel grew close to Rory after the breakdown of her marriage to Stephen. Last year, she said: 'He's a family friend, great hairdresser... when I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments... 'And as he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship.'
