Graham Norton has revealed he tied the knot in his native Ireland so his 90-year-old mum could attend.
The comedian, 59, married Scottish filmmaker Jonathan McLeod in West Cork this year in front of mum Rhoda, who he said was his favourite person.
Graham said: “I got married this year and we had our wedding party near to where my mother lives in Ireland just so she could come.
“She wouldn’t have been well enough to come to London so West Cork it was. And it made me very happy.”
Appearing on Australian TV show The Project, Graham also admitted he did not believe he would ever get married.
He laughed: “It’s good so far, it would be awful if it wasn’t at this stage, just a few months in, I’d like to think that even I could manage a few months.
“I’m from that generation of gays who assumed it was never going to be on the cards. So, one, it’s extraordinary that it can happen, I mean, I never gave up hope of finding the one. If it was a surprise, it was a pleasant surprise.”
Scottish singer Lulu is rumour-ed to have performed at the star’s wedding at Bantry House.
Asked who he would swap lives with if he could, he said: “Is it tiresome to say I wouldn’t? I quite like my life. I get to do things I love, like the chat show, novels, radio, and hosting Queen of the Universe.”
Joking about appearing on I’m a Celebrity in future, he added: “Maybe one day you’ll see spider legs dangling from my mouth.”
