Eleanor announced the news on her Instagram page, writing: "When a Miss becomes a Mrs, I love you. The biggest thank you to all of our family and friends."

Eleanor also shared three gorgeous pictures from the day, include of herself and Will kissing, as she wore a stunning off the shoulder white dress which had a sweeping train.

The redhead's hair was styled in a chic up do, and she kept her jewellery simple, with a matching diamond earrings, necklace and bracelet set.

Speaking about her dress to Harper’s Bazaar magazine, Eleanor said: “There wasn’t even room for my dad to sit next to me in the car – he had to sit in the front! I have never felt so confident though.

"So happy. So loved. And so ready to walk down that aisle.

“The first dress I tried on was the one. I looked at my brother and he burst into tears and I just knew I’d found my dream dress and then some.

“I still tried on pretty much every other dress in the shop because why not?

“But I knew nothing could beat the dress I’d already found.”

The actress said bride-to-bes should include their friends and family in choosing the dress because “that is where the magic really begins”.

The Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging star said she had always been “obsessed” with American actress Grace Kelly’s wedding dress and had planned on wearing a slinky sleek number but changed her mind after choosing the venue.

She said: “It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to.

"Once I’d seen the aisle, the setting, the different areas in which moments of our big day would be playing out, I was able to envision the dress in the surroundings.”

It was reported in May 2020 that Eleanor had fallen head over heels for Will, who plays for Coventry and previously played for Nottingham, and the England under 20s squad.
