Jack Whitehall’s wedding has been described as a “fairy tale” by the bride, Roxy Horner, but the neighbours are not happy.
Model Roxy Horner has spoken of a “fairy tale” wedding to comedian and actor Jack Whitehall – and how the couple “feel full of love”. The pair tied the knot at Euridge Manor, in Wiltshire, on Saturday (April 18), with their two-year-old daughter Elsie acting as one of three flower girls.
On Thursday, however, it emerged the luxury venue – in Colerne – had lost a planning dispute with Wiltshire Council and could face closure if it does not introduce measures to control noise. The venue, owned by John Robinson, founder of fashion chain Jigsaw, has been hosting weddings and events for several years, leading to complaints from neighbours about traffic and noise levels.
Euridge Manor now has 30 days to submit a new noise management plan, with The Times reporting that Whitehall’s wedding led to local residents objecting to loud noise, including “whooping and cheering, and amplified speeches”.
The same day, Horner took to social media to talk about the weekend, as well as a stay at Coworth Park, in Ascot, Berkshire. “After our fairytale weekend we started the week at (Coworth Park),” she said. “Elsie even got to meet a horse called Roxy. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff here. We feel full of love and will be back soon.”
One image showed the newlyweds’ hands together, displaying Horner’s new wedding ring, alongside pictures of Elsie helping lead a pony across a yard.
Horner and Whitehall, known for TV shows Fresh Meat and Bad Education, announced their engagement in December 2024. Ahead of the ceremony, Whitehall, who was due to wear a Tom Ford suit, had a wardrobe malfunction and changed into a back-up Dunhill suit.
Speaking to British Vogue, the 37-year-old said: “I squatted down to pick up Elsie and my trousers split, my whole ass was hanging out.”
Meanwhile, Horner wore a strapless silk Galia Lahav gown and veil for the ceremony with Alaia Le Coeur heels, complete with a diamond necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring by Roxanne Assoulin. She later changed into a second Lahav dress for the reception, paired with Freya Rose heels.
The 34-year old walked down the aisle with her father Perry and said that although she was really nervous before walking out, she later “got the giggles” because she kept tripping over her dress while walking up the stairs. Then Jack was blubbing at the end of the aisle,” she told British Vogue.
The lakeside ceremony included a Shakespearean sonnet performed by actor – and Whitehall and his father’s good friend – Neil Stuke, before the couple shared their first dance together to Michael Jackson’s Rock With You, with the party going on into the early hours of the morning.
The newlyweds are due to head to Venice for their honeymoon, with a stay on the luxury Belmond Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train.
