Richard Osman marries Doctor Who actress Ingrid Oliver: 'We're so, so happy'

Richard Osman is officially a married man, after tying the knot with his partner Ingrid Oliver.

The former Pointless host shared a gorgeous photo of the pair walking back down the aisle together as husband and wife.

He looked completely dapper in a suit as he beamed and held his bride’s hand.

Ingrid looked absolutely beautiful in an elegant white gown and veil, clutching a bouquet of white flowers in one hand, and her new husband’s hand in the other.

Richard wrote: ‘The most magical, joyful day on Saturday with my beautiful wife @ingridoliver100.

‘Surrounded by wonderful friends and family, a day full of love and laughter. We’re so, so happy.’

Ingrid shared the same photo on Instagram, simply captioning it with two heart emoji.

Congratulations for the pair have poured in, with Victoria Derbyshire commenting: ‘A. MAZE. ING. So many congratulations to you both! How wonderful.’

One fan wrote: ‘Huge congratulations! You both look soooo happy! 😍,’ while another added: ‘Oh congratulations to you both! Such good news.’

Richard and Ingrid first met when she appeared on his show, House of Games. They were friends for a while, before romance reportedly blossomed in lockdown.

Engagement rumours started when Ingrid was seen wearing an emerald ring, with Richard confirming the news in May.

In an interview with fellow literary superstar Marian Keyes for The Observer, Richard, who this year stepped down from his role on Pointless, confirmed he was set tie the knot with partner Ingrid in response to Marian’s question over if it was true he was ‘getting married’.

On the Christmas Day edition of Desert Island Discs, the 51-year-old paid sweet tribute to his fiancée and the change she had made in him, explaining: ‘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 split from his first wife in 2007, with whom he shares two older children, Ruby and Sonny, who are both in their twenties.

Ingrid is best known for her role as Petronella Osgood in Doctor Who.
