Swansea City midfielder Jonjo Shelvey was married to partner Daisy Evans yesterday - and comedian Jimmy Carr helped the couple celebrate.

Carr, one of Britain's most popular funnymen and host of 8 Out of 10 Cats and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, performed a routine at the reception which former S Club Juniors star Evans posted to her Instagram account.

It included a joke about Liz Hurley and his wife which went down a storm with Shelvey, Evans and their guests.

Alongside the video, the new Mrs Shelvey posted a number of pictures of the couple's big day.

It caps a memorable few months for Shelvey who enjoyed a strong end to Swansea City's Premier League campaign.

He was consistently one of Garry Monk's top performers in the latter stages of the season and finished 2014/15 with five assists and three goals, including a stunning strike in a 1-0 win at Southampton.

That has led to praise from manager Garry Monk who said the 23-year-old had upped his game and matured as a footballer.
