Hustle star Kelly Adams has proved that not all celebrities are extravagant when it comes to nuptials – and tied the know with her fashion photographer fiancé Chris Kennedy for just £200.

Kelly’s mother paid for the meal and so their costs were mainly for the ceremony, which took place in Hackney Town Hall in East London.

After the ceremony, the couple had a low-key lunch with family and friends in a local restaurant.

The happy couple then headed to a local pub where they were joined by more friends including fellow actors Matt Di Angelo and Jay Jacobs. 

Talking to Hello! magazine afterwards, Kelly, who did her own hair and make-up for the big day, said: ‘We really didn’t want it to be a big deal.

‘It was very romantic, very fun and very us.’

It’s on: Kelly as Emma with her Hustle co-stars (from left to right) Robert Glenister as Ash, Robert Vaughn as Albert, Adrian Lester as Mickey and Matt Di Angelo as Sean

The star, who plays Emma Kennedy in the BBC1 hit show
about con artists, found her 1950s cream silk dress in a vintage shop in Brighton
just days before her special day.

Kelly also revealed that she proposed to Chris when they were on a break in Bruges on his birthday last year – even though initially she never thought she believed in marriage.

‘Chris is very smug about the fact that I asked him,’ she laughed.

However, the actress said that she doesn’t want children ‘just yet’.

She explained: ‘Chris is only 26 and, as an actress, my thirties are the best years. In your twenties you spend your time playing babes, you won’t get so many gritty, amazing parts. So I’ll hang fire for a while.’

The last in this series of Hustle was earlier this month, but the show is set to return next year.
