Kirstie Allsopp has revealed that her next door neighbour Richard Curtis previously inspired her happily unmarried status - before the Love Actually director ended up influencing her wedding. It was revealed on Saturday that the Location Location Location star, 53, had tied the knot with the property tycoon beau Ben Andersen after long insisting a wedding wasn't for her.

And it was held at the Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair, which was where Love Actually's wedding scene between Keira Knightley and Chiwetel Ejiofor was shot. The joyful 40-minute ceremony included the Beatles' hit All You Need Is Love, which also featured in Curtis's Love Actually, and the hymn I Vow To Thee, My Country.
