Kirstie Allsopp Reveals Phil Spencer's Absence at Secret Wedding

Kirstie Allsopp recently married Ben Andersen in a secret ceremony at the Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair, which was inspired by the film 'Love Actually.' Notably absent from the event was her long-time co-host Phil Spencer, who was unable to attend due to the last-minute nature of the wedding plans. Kirstie explained that many guests, including Phil, were unaware they were attending a wedding until shortly before the ceremony, as they had initially been invited to celebrate Ben's birthday. The couple had been together for 22 years, and despite previously expressing contentment with being 'happily unmarried,' they decided to tie the knot in an intimate setting surrounded by close friends and family. Kirstie shared photos from the celebration, showcasing her in a stunning gold sequin dress and highlighting the efforts of friends who helped organize the event in secrecy. The wedding was a surprise for many, reflecting the couple’s desire for a low-key celebration.
