Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan has wed his journalist girlfriend Celia Walden.

The couple tied the knot in a small, a private ceremony for close friends and family only.

No celebrities (including his colleagues from Britain's Got Talent, Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden) were present at the ceremony in Swinbrook, a small Oxfordshire village.

Walden, 33, is the daughter of George Walden, the former Tory MP, and now works as a columnist for a national newspaper. She carried a bouquet of wild flowers and wore a daisy chain headband during the proceedings while Morgan opted for a suit.

They were driven from the church in a Rolls Royce before holding a reception in a nearby pub.

Amanda Holden sent her best wishes stating: "I could not be happier for my lovely friend. Celia his wife is fabulous. Big party for us lot soon."

Meanwhile Cowell commented: "I hate to admit it but I'm absolutely thrilled for the two of them. Having met Celia, I have no idea how he managed to pull this one off."

Walden is a features writer and columnist for the Daily Telegraph. Morgan also has his own interview show entitled Piers Morgan's Life Stories.
