“We had our closest family there, the weather held out and everything worked out so well.”
Jay even confessed to shedding a few tears on his wedding day.
He said: “I think the thing that was most emotional for me was actually saying the vows.
“It was almost like I had tunnel vision and I could only see Lisa there. And honestly, that’s when it really hit me. I was like, ‘We’re really getting married now!’ That’s the only time I really got emotional.”
Jay was blown away when he saw Lisa in her wedding dress for the first time.
The TV star remembers her looking “classy and beautiful”.
He told HELLO! magazine: “When I first saw her I just thought: ‘Wow’!’ I hadn’t seen the dress and it was just perfection. She looked so classy and beautiful.”
The loved-up couple tied the knot on the grounds of a beachfront villa, and they only had 15 guests present for their big day.
Lisa explained that the ceremony, and the day more generally, went exactly as she had hoped it would.
She shared: “Once you get to a certain age, you realise what’s actually important on the day – and that is having the people around you that love you for who you are. So we made the day our day.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Christopher Eccleston prefers to work with female directors.
The 58-year-old actor has revealed that he relishes working with female directors because they create a “safer” working environment.
Christopher – who is perhaps best known for playing the ninth incarnation of the Doctor on ‘Doctor Who’ – shared: “I have a 90-year-old mum and she’s guided my life entirely. I’ve always been drawn to working with female directors and theatre … I’ve always found it a more playful environment, a safer environment.
“Patriarchy cocks everybody up. It did its damage to me as well, you know. So, having a daughter of nine, I’ve been seeing the world through her lens, and I certainly feel, for instance, my mum’s called Elsie, she’s 90.
“My daughter’s called Esme, she’s nine. The world Esme is going into is so much better in terms of equality than it was for my mum. So, it’s nice to see that.”
Christopher has actually encouraged his daughter to try her hand at directing and producing.
The actor is determined to ensure that she learns some lessons from his own career, if she decides to follow him into the entertainment industry.
Christopher told Sky News: “My daughter, I’ve told her that she must run the National Theatre. I said if she wants to act, she’s got to direct and produce as well.
“Because what I understood, you know, if I had my time again, being a working-class person, I would go for a position of power rather than just acting. So, I’ve said to her, she must run the National Theatre or be prime minister.
“You don’t just want to be an actor. That’s particularly if you’re a woman, you need to produce direct, and I think she will probably do it.”

He shared: “‘Corrie’ has historically always done [family-oriented episodes].
“A few years ago we went a little bit ‘Die Hard’ with the Gary and Shona funfair and we absolutely loved it – it allowed us to do a thriller-ish conceptual trailer for it, and it was all very exciting.
“But we’re right in our wheelhouse now with this Christmas. It’s got loads of comedy, family fun and loads of warmth.”
Iain admitted that the upcoming storyline has even reduced him to tears.
The producer has also promised fans of the long-running soap that they will love the Christmas episodes.
He confessed: “I cried twice in the viewing and I’m not given to tears! It was really moving and lovely, not sad, but in a warm-your-cockles way.
“I really think fans are going to love it.”
Iain explained that Fiz and Tyrone will find themselves at the centre of the Christmas episodes.
He’s also revealed that there will be a “good-spirited end to the year”.
He told RadioTimes.com: “The Fiz and Tyrone strand is the centrepiece – really good fun, and just the right amount of silly, brilliant writing.
“The performers are exemplary, as they are across the show generally, but Alan (Halsall) and Jennie (McAlpine) are marvellous. The kids are great.
“It feels totally Christmassy and totally ‘Corrie’. It’s a warm, good-spirited end to the year for us.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ITV1 has commissioned a new drama based on the lives of John and Justin Fashanu.
The story of the footballing duo will be retold in new drama ‘Fash’ -and will focus on the peril of former Nottingham Forest star Justin – who was the first openly gay footballer but took his own life at the age of 37 in 1998 – and Norwich City player John, 60, who infamously abandoned his older brother upon learning of his homosexuality.
A press statement read: “‘Fash’ is the poignant, compelling and heartbreaking story of two complex and conflicted brothers, Justin and John Fashanu, and fearlessly uncompromising exploration of the institutional prejudices which tore them apart
John is serving as a consultant on the series – which has been written by BAFTA nominee Kwame Kwei-Armah – alongside close friend activist Peter Tatchell and a number of other contributors – will be available as a boxset on ITVX once the first episode has aired on ITV1 in 2023.
He said: “I’m so pleased to be working with Kwame and Happy Prince on this project. Much has been said and written about the relationship Justin and I shared over the years, but drama of this type has an ability to delve right to the beating heart and truth of events in a way other media can’t. I feel privileged to play a part in bringing it to the screen.”
Meanwhile, Kwame explained that he wanted to “dive into the past” with the project after years of being fascinated with the pair of sports stars.
He said: “I grew up watching the Fashanu brothers. I was fascinated by them. Inspired by them. As an adult, my heart breaks for them. ‘The past is a foreign land’, the saying goes, ‘they do things differently there’. In Fash, I wanted to dive into that past, particularly one that has so many resonances with today

OHMYGOSSIP — Mark Gatiss says the false teeth was the hardest part of playing Larry Grayson.
The 56-year-old actor stars as late comedian Larry in the upcoming drama series ‘Nolly’ got into character in lots of different ways for the new series created by Russell T Davies – due out in the new year – but the costume was a huge factor in embodying the 80s legend and host of ‘The Generation Game’.
He told Daily Star newspaper’s Hot TV column: “The teeth! I had a set of false teeth. And then I got a wig and then the rest is the speech.
“Oh, and the glasses on the chain are imperative.”
Mark – who consumed hours of footage as prep – loved his “absolutely filthy” rountines and playing an icon
He said: “I watched so many videos and kept putting in little bits that I learned.
“Some of his bits were just brilliant and absolutely filthy, but Saturday night audiences just totally lapped it up. It’s an honour to play a gay icon like Larry and also someone who was so much part of our TV growing up.”
The ITVX drama will also star Helena Bonham Carter in the title role of the actress Noele Goodman – one of Larry’s best pals – after her sacking from the soap ‘Crossroads’ in 1981.
Recently, the former ‘Doctor Who’ star admitted that he “loved” Larry “as a kid”, calling him – and figures like ‘Are You Being Served’ star John Inman – “just part of a TV culture. I didn’t ever remember feeling ‘pansy shame’ or anything like that. I just thought they were funny.”
Mark spilled that a showbiz pal of his “who was very active in early gay politics” loathed the Larry and his silence about his sexuality – during a time when it was controversial to be gay – and how “he said: ‘I could only ever think of him as the enemy.
The ‘Sherlock’ star confessed to being “struck” by this and how Russell saw Larry as a “trailblazer” despite his silence.
Mark said: I was very struck by that. Russell thinks that, on the contrary, these people were trailblazers. I think the truth is something somewhere in between. You could argue that they were, for all their outrageousness, sort of neutered. If actually they’d said: ‘Yes, I have a boyfriend’, maybe the general public would have reacted in horror.”
He continued: “But it can be both – both a stereotype and empowering. Larry takes this stuff into the living room, and some of it is unbelievable.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The third and final series of ‘Happy Valley’ will begin on New Year’s Day.
The BAFTA Award-winning series stars former ‘Coronation Street’ actress Sarah Lancashire as Sgt Catherine Cawood and the last outing of the show will explore a gangland murder victim in a drained reservoir which will lead the West Yorkshire policewoman back to repeat offender nemesis Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton).
A press release said: “When Catherine discovers the remains of a gangland murder victim in a drained reservoir, it sparks a chain of events that leads her straight back to Tommy Lee Royce [James Norton]. Her grandson, Ryan [Rhys Connah], is now sixteen and has ideas of his own about the kind of relationship he wants to have with the man Catherine refuses to acknowledge as his father, leaving Catherine’s sister Clare [Siobhan Finneran] caught in the middle. In another part of the valley, a local pharmacist gets in over his head when a neighbour is arrested.”
‘Happy Valley’ is created and written by Sally Wainwright – who is also known for penning series such as ‘At Home with the Braithwaites’ and ‘ Last Tango in Halifax’ – has not been seen on screen since 2016 and she recently explained that the gap was to create an angle that would see Ryan old enough to make his own decisions in his series.
She said: “I think it’s going to be good. I think it’s going to be exciting. We’ve got some very good stories. The plan was to wait for Ryan to
be older so that he can make his own choices about whether he wants to have contact with his dad or not. So it really explores that.”
‘Happy Valley’ begins 9pm on Sunday 1 January 2023, New Year’s Day, on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

The source continued: “Helen is not open to talk of reconciliation and she just wants them to focus on being co-parents.”

The blonde beauty didn’t go into detail about what triggered her but remained steadfast in her determination to live her life and go “where I want”.
Helen said: “This is like a long story short, but I get, I was really annoyed last week because I won’t go into too much detail but basically I hate it when mums are made to feel uncomfortable in kind of like I don’t know…”
“I didn’t have Matilda young but youngish and I’ve always gone everywhere with my kids, like flown with them, trains, hotels and I’ve just literally always gone where I want to go.
“I just don’t like it when you get people who basically are being rubbish towards you because you’ve got kids and you’re a mum, basically giving you the evils.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jacqueline Jossa was “really nervous” to return to ‘EastEnders.’
The 30-year-old actress initially starred as Lauren Branning in the BBC soap opera from 2010 until 2018 but is due to return to the role as part of two special episodes depicting the funeral of legendary character Dot Cotton – who died off-screen on 1 December following the death of actress June Brown at the age of 95 earlier this year – and eventually felt as if she was “back at home” on set.
She said: “I was really nervous because, no matter what, it’s always such a big thing to be at EastEnders. But when I got there, it didn’t feel like anything had changed. It just felt like being back at home. The two episodes are very emotional from top to bottom because there are so many layers.”
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ winner went on to add that Lauren – who is the granddaughter of Dot – is still the same as she was but admitted that the return was “bittersweet.”
She told DigitalSpy: “She’s still the same old Lauren, but maybe grown up a little bit! I think she’ll be able to provide some updates about other members of the Branning family! Hopefully, Lauren coming home is something positive and light. Obviously, Lauren is upset to lose Grandma Dot, but it’s a bittersweet feeling to be back.”
However, Lauren added that June – who played launderette assistant Dot from 1985 until 1993 and again from 1997 until 2020 – “deserved” the special send-off and that she had “learned everything” about her craft from her co-stars.
She said: “June deserves the send-off she’s going to get at EastEnders, and I wanted to be a part of that and be involved. It was nice to be there to represent that side of the Branning family because there are family members always off gallivanting and doing different things. was always so lucky to work with the best of the bunch. I was like a sponge, and everyone I worked with, like Jo Joyner (Tanya), Jake Wood (Max), and June, were massive inspirations in my life. They were so good at their job that it was crazy. I learned pretty much everything from them.
“June was always so kind. Lauren called her character Dot, but June always made sure it was ‘Grandma Dot’. Everyone always listened to June – the choices she made were always right, and she was brilliant.”
The special episode of ‘EastEnders’ will air on December 12 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
