House Of Games’ Richard Osman marries Doctor Who star fiancee in intimate ceremony

RICHARD Osman has tied the knot with Doctor Who star Ingrid Oliver.

The Pointless host, 43, shared the first picture from his nuptials over the weekend alongside his new wife Ingrid, 44.

Richard captioned the shot, taken by , which sees them walking hand in hand: “The most magical, joyful day on Saturday with my beautiful wife @ingrid_oliver. Surrounded by wonderful friends and family, a day full of love and laughter. We're so, so happy.”

Ingrid – who is best known for playing Petronella Osgood in the hit BBC show Doctor Who - looked amazing in a white gown with puffed long sleeves, pearls and a train.

House Of Games host Richard and Ingrid announced they were engaged in May of this year after two years of dating.

Discussing his wedding plans earlier this year, Richard said:  "We're getting married in December, which is lovely and its going to be a very un-showbizy wedding, just all our school friends. I can't wait."

Speaking about how they  met, Richard told : “Ingrid came on House of Games. I knew who she was through social media.

"We'd never met – I had never met her. I had a little twinkle in my eye, I'll admit that.

“She came on, we filmed that day together. Our first date is completely on camera. After filming, I was thinking, ‘How can I ask her for a drink, this is difficult.’”

Last year, Richard opened up about how complete Ingrid made his life, telling Desert Island Discs: "I’m happy with myself, I’ve got these beautiful kids, I’ve met the woman who I’m going to be with for the rest of my life. 

"That thing of competition and ambition, you soon realise that rocket fuel disappears and it’s about happiness and my kids bring me happiness and Ingrid brings me happiness."

Richard has two grown up children - Ruby and Sonny - from a previous marriage which ended in 2007.

He later dated Absolute radio star Emily Sean and jazz singer Sumudu Jayatilaka.
