Stephen Fry and Elliott Spencer

Stephen Fry and Elliott Spencer

Stephen Fry has married Elliott Spencer.

The 57-year-old comedian has tied the knot with the 27-year-old writer, taking to Twitter to share the exciting news.

Alongside a photograph of the happy couple signing the marriage register, Stephen wrote: "Gosh. @ElliottGSpencer and I go into a room as two people, sign a book and leave as one. Amazing. (sic)"

Stephen - who only confirmed the news of their engagement a couple of weeks ago - previously joked that he was hoping for a "private wedding".

At the time of the announcement, he wrote on the social media site: "Oh. It looks as though a certain cat is out of a certain bag. I'm very very happy of course but had hoped for a private wedding. Fat chance!

"Thank you all SO much for your kind congratulations. Deeply touched xxx (sic)"

The couple made a formal application to marry at a register office in Dereham, Norfolk - the comedian's home county - on December 23rd.

Meanwhile, Stephen - who has suffered with depression for years - has reportedly "found new hope" after starting to date his now-husband.

A friend of the star previously said: "Since Stephen met Elliott it is like he has a new lust for life.

"We've got the old Stephen back. He has spoken about his problems in the past because he wants others suffering with depression and loneliness to know it can affect everyone.

"But he has found new hope in Elliott and they thrive off one another."
