The 63-year-old revealed he had married his partner, former Taggart star Currie, in a short post on Instagram.

Alongside a picture of the couple sat on a bench in their wedding attire with Emma’s bouquet to one side, Irvine wrote: ‘Knot tied. All good in the world. See you later, alligators.’

The newly married couple were showing off their matching wedding bands as the bride wore a vintage-style boho white dress with puff sleeves and a flower crown, with the groom donned shades and a grey suit he paired with a blue shirt.

Emma also shared two of images of the occasion to her own Instagram page, simply captioned: ‘Today I married the love of my life.’

In one the pair were seen walking down the street, hand in hand, as Welsh wheeled a suitcase behind them, and in the other they puckered up for a kiss.
