Hollyoaks' John-Paul McQueen weds boyfriend Ste Hay... after changing out of Geri Halliwell-inspired Union Jack dress

He only recently popped the question to boyfriend John-Paul McQueen, following a successful stint in rehab.

But Ste Hay and his fiance have clearly decided a long engagement is not for them, after filming scenes for Hollyoaks' first same-sex wedding recently.

The couple, played by Kieron Richardson and James Sutton, were seen kissing outside a pretty Liverpool church while their on-screen family showered them in confetti.

In scenes set to air on Channel 4 on Christmas Eve, the stars are seen looking dapper in grey, three-piece suits, complete with rose corsage.

However 31-year-old James' role sees him arrive at his big day still dressed in a Geri Halliwell-inspired, Union Jack dress, covered in sequins, and white platforms.

It is thought the groom-to-be ended up stranded following a messy stag night, before hitching a lift from a group of rugby players in order to make it there on time, DigitalSpy reported.

Leela Lomax and Porsche McQueen, portrayed by Kirsty Leigh Porter and Twinnie-Lee Moore respectively, were also pictured during the shoot dressed in floaty green bridesmaid dresses.

However the blonde beauty appeared to be feeling the chill, and covered up in socks, a thick coat while clutching a hot water bottle against her midriff in between takes.

Speaking ahead of the hour-long special, James told All About Soap: 'There's finally a little bit of happiness, which is what they haven't had much of together so far.

'It's all going really well, but then there's a bit of a bombshell at the end of the wedding. It's a huge revelation, in classic soap fashion.'

He continued: 'It's such a well-written episode and it's an hour-long special as well, which is great.'

The 28-year-old, who is set to marry his real-life partner Carl Hyland in spring 2015, also told the Mirror: 'It is a little dress rehearsal for me in real life. But I have learned not to have any McQueens at my real wedding!'
