Cat Deeley has married Patrick Kielty in a secret Italian ceremony

The couple - who went public with their relationship five months ago - exchanged vows in Rome this weekend in a small private ceremony attended by their close family and friends.

The 35-year-old `So You Think You Can Dance` presenter tied the knot in a stunning ruffled dress with flowers in her hair.

A wedding photo has appeared online showing the newlyweds looking happy as they toasted their big day at their wedding reception.

Northern Irish TV host Patrick - who has dated a string of beauties including `Total Wipeout` presenter Amanda Byram - denied rumours he had popped the question to Cat last month but rumours continued to swirl after she was spotted wearing a ring on her engagement finger at a party before the `Primetime Emmy Awards` last weekend.

The 41-year-old presenter later attended the awards show with Cat, who was nominated for a prestigious gong in the reality TV category, and she tweeted a photo of them leaving the event with the caption: "Happily ever after".

The couple - who live together in a £1.7 million Beverly Hills mansion - confirmed their relationship in May after more than a decade of friendship but were first romantically linked in February after they holidayed together.
