The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star is set to tie the knot later this year with his beautiful partner Becky Miesner but he's decided to bend the rules slightly by having three best men - one of them being the McFly singer, who is married to his sister Giovanna Fletcher, because he's his "idol" and taught him how to deal with fame.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Mario said: "I've grown up with Tom, he's an idol of mine. I remember being sat around my dinner table with him when we were kids and him telling us that he was going to be in a bad one day and tour the world.

"He's achieved all his dreams and taught me so much about how to be in the public eye too, so it was a given that he would be my best man."

And, rather than leave the nuptials to Becky to plan, the 30-year-old hunk has been getting involved in the wedding preparations because he just wants her to be happy.

He explained to the publication: "It's been pretty 50/50.

"I said at the start that Becky gets the final decision on everything - I want her to have everything she wants. As long as she's happy, I'm happy."

Once they've got hitched, the couple are planning to start a family together and Mario has admitted he can't wait for the next 10 years because it will be filled with children.

He said: "The next 10 years are going to be so exciting. I'm getting married, then we're going to have babies.

"I'm excited about going for weekends away with our families and our children. I had enough of partying in my twenties, I'm ready to settle down."
