Strictly's Anton du Beke marries long-term girlfriend Hannah Summers
The pair recently welcomed twins
Strictly Come Dancing's Anton du Beke has married his long-term girlfriend Hannah Summers, after recently welcoming twins.
A spokesperson for the dancer confirmed the news to Mail Online, after he made an appearance with Hannah at the Chelsea Flower Show.
No other details about the ceremony or even when it happened have been revealed, but Anton had previously hinted that the two would tie the knot this year.
Speaking to The Mirror last year, he gushed about his then girlfriend while she was pregnant: 'She's just perfect. I love her above all things. Will we marry? Maybe next year. We're very happy.'
The two met shortly after his split from TV broadcaster Caroline Feraday in 2007, but kept their romance away from the spotlight for years.
Anton has made it clear just how serious he is about his relationship with Hannah, stating previously that she replaced the other 'woman' is his life - performing.

'Performing was the "woman" in my life, if you like - but then Hannah came along. She's just perfect. She's very beautiful, clever, but also really kind', Anton said.
Their wedding news comes shortly after the two became parents for the first time in March.
The proud dad took to social media to announce the happy news of his twins' birth, writing that his 'little dancing feet' had arrived.
'Oh my! The little dancing feet have arrived. Mum and twins are perfect and dad is ridiculously excited!', he wrote.
He had previously also used Twitter to announce they were expecting the twins - a boy and a girl - back in November.
'Hannah and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting twins in the spring. We are over the moon!', he wrote on his Twitter account to share the lovely news with fans.
Anton, who's been on Strictly since 2004 and is the show's oldest professional dancer, likes to keep his personal life private and is yet to share snaps of his babies.
Congratulations to Anton and Hannah!
