As Jack Whitehall weds ex-glamour model Roxy: Downtown Abbey meets Eastenders… it can only be the celebrity wedding of the year!

This charming Cotswold estate features a gorgeous orangery, a peaceful boating lake, and a pergola beautifully covered in wisteria, all within its large and lovely grounds.

Could there be a more perfect venue for the celebrity wedding of the year?

Comedian Jack Whitehall is getting married today to Roxy Horner at Euridge Manor in Wiltshire. The wedding is expected to be a lavish affair, costing around £250,000, and has been called the most sought-after event in the entertainment world.

Jack’s wedding is expected to be a lively and fun celebration, with guests including James and Julia Corden, and Jamie and Frida Redknapp.

Oh, please, let them keep things relatively chill! I mean, the owner of Euridge Manor, John Robinson – you know, the guy who created Jigsaw? – got into so much trouble back in 2023. Apparently, his neighbors were absolutely livid about all the loud weddings he was throwing there. It was a whole planning nightmare, honestly. I just hope whatever happens now doesn’t cause that kind of drama again!

One guest joked that the wedding would be much calmer than Jack’s bachelor party – and that was probably a good thing. They were referring to a recent night out in Soho with James Corden and Harry Redknapp, where Jack was photographed looking quite disheveled while wearing an inflatable crown.

Jack was so intoxicated that he jokingly thanked the Daily Mail for reporting on his night, after seeing their photos the next day. He’d apparently forgotten much of what happened!

Despite his usual confidence, Jack is surprisingly anxious about his wedding. Those close to him describe him as ‘super nervous,’ which is unusual for someone known for being a comedian.

A friend told me he’s far more nervous about this than hosting the BRIT Awards. He’s really excited, and has been anticipating the day, but it’s a huge moment for him. He’s hosted major shows like Saturday Night Live, but giving a best man’s speech feels much more challenging.

He’s deeply in love with Roxy, and this is a wonderful opportunity to share that love with his family and friends. Above all, he wants everyone to enjoy themselves.

The groom will be wearing a tuxedo, following the black tie dress code, and is expected to complete the look with Christian Louboutin shoes.

Although Jack is better known, most people will be watching Roxy, who is 34. They met while working in Australia and became official in 2020 when Roxy moved in with Jack at his apartment in Notting Hill.

Friends say she’s determined ‘all will be perfect’ and that includes her dress – or rather dresses.

She was at Galia Lahav in Mayfair this week for her final wedding dress fittings. Paparazzi photographed her in a white, strapless gown with a fitted waist and a full, princess-style skirt.

She looked beautiful in a fitted gown with a slightly see-through top. Her blonde hair was styled up and secured with her veil as she admired herself in the mirror. It seems she has two dresses – one for the wedding ceremony and another for the reception.

A source says Roxy is absolutely thrilled with her wedding dress shopping experience. She’s enjoyed every moment and feels like a fairytale is coming true.

Roxy has had a busy week getting ready for her wedding, and surprised everyone on Thursday by admitting she’d even shaved her toes!

She posted a close-up photo on Instagram and jokingly complained about her wrinkled feet from being in the bath. She wondered why she’d decided to shave her big toes for the first time before her wedding, adding that she’ll probably have cuts that hurt, and no one – not even her dog – will notice her smooth toes.

Roxy’s had a few hen parties, most recently a fun-filled weekend in London. She shared photos online of the celebrations, which included karaoke, a private dinner, and a dance lesson with Luba Mushtuk, a former professional dancer from Strictly Come Dancing. The group also went to a Magic Mike show at the Hippodrome Casino, where Roxy was surprised with a lap dance.

In January, Roxy playfully declared she was embracing a ‘bridal era’ and turned heads at a Burns Night dinner wearing a beautiful wedding dress. The sheer floral gown, from designer Nadine Merabi and costing £615, showcased her elegant style.

A friend shared, ‘Roxy is incredibly happy about this wedding – it means the world to her.’ The last six years have been quite a journey for Roxy, who first graced the pages of British Vogue at just seventeen. Since then, she’s also worked with popular brands like Boohoo, Boux Avenue, and Superdry as a model.

Roxy has dated a variety of people in the past, including famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio and reality star Joey Essex. Friends say she and her current partner, Jack, have very different backgrounds. Jack went to prestigious private schools – Dragon School and Marlborough College – while Roxy attended a local state school in Essex.

Jack’s father is Michael Whitehall, a theatrical agent and TV producer who also became a TV personality, and his mother, Hilary, is an actress.

Not much is known about Roxy’s parents, but Jack recently described her wedding on The Jonathan Ross Show as a blend of the elegance of ‘Downton Abbey’ and the drama of ‘EastEnders’.

He described his family as wealthy and privileged, always dressed in fancy vests, while her family were working-class Londoners – true, down-to-earth people and passionate West Ham supporters.

Despite their differences, they fell in love and welcomed their daughter, Elsie, in 2023. They’re also proud owners of a dog named Coco. With a growing family, they moved to a larger, more luxurious townhouse after Elsie was born.

In December 2024, Roxy and her partner announced they were engaged on Instagram. Roxy shared a video showing off her beautiful diamond ring.

Those close to the couple say Euridge Manor was their absolute top choice for a wedding venue, and it’s not hard to understand why. This 17th-century estate is located on the grounds of Sir Walter Raleigh’s former hunting lodge, right next to the beautiful village of Castle Combe.

Since 2004, this large property – which includes features like a greenhouse, rose gardens, a helicopter landing area, and a ballroom – has been used for private parties, and since 2015, for weddings. However, when the owner applied for official permission to continue hosting events in 2021, nearby residents protested due to noise from guests, music, and traffic. The local council ultimately rejected the application in May 2022.

After working with the community, Robinson received approval in June 2025 to begin hosting weddings, with packages starting at £23,000.

A further issue has been resolved. Jack’s mother, Hilary, was upset when he mistakenly told her the wrong dress code. She had already purchased a dress based on his incorrect information, and then the actual invitation arrived with different instructions. Jack simply apologized, saying, ‘Sorry about that, Mum.’

Let’s hope lines of communication are smoother between husband and wife.
