Guests included Noel Gallagher, Jonathan Ross and David Baddiel.

Russell, 42, spent £2,300 to hire the New Orleans steamer to ferry the ­wedding party back to an Indian-themed reception with staff in saris.

A source said: “They wanted a very small, personal affair with their daughter Mabel, family and close friends rather than a circus. It was a lovely occasion. Mabel was guest of honour.”

Russell, previously wed to Katy Perry, proposed to Laura, 30 — daughter of golfer Bernard and sister of TV presenter Kirsty — in July last year.
