"I found out I couldn't get married to Lisa because you have to give 21 days' notice or something. My consultant said I was incredibly ill, so the registrar in London gave me permission to get married on the Monday.

"So I got married at half nine on the Monday, and went to hospital at 10 to have my operation."

He also revealed that it was just himself, Lisa, and the couple's two sons Harry, 18, and 17-year-old Tom, in attendance.
