The 66-year-old married radio producer Clare, 51, in August, with Loose Women’s Myleene Klass and ex GMB star Piers Morgan attending the French ceremony. I’m A Celebrity winner Christopher Biggins officiated the big day, while Myleene played Humming Class from Italian opera Madame Butterfly on the harp.

Appearing on the show in-person for the first time since the wedding, Nick opened up about his big day, saying: “What a lucky girl she is.” However, Dermot was quick to point out that their invite never arrived.

“Congratulations on your wedding. Imagine my surprise then Alison, when I flicked through and I thought, ‘You know what, you wouldn’t be expected to be invited to Nick’s wedding,'” Dermot said.

“Imagine my surprise then when I flicked through and saw what I can only describe as the Rogues’ gallery of people who made the cut. Klass I get, Biggins on the end, Morgan on the other end,” he said, with the others laughing.

Alison asked what Piers did at the ceremony, with Nick responding: “He read a passage from the Bible on humility. Truth!” Alison responded: “I could have read from the Bible!” to which Nick said: “I know, but you were more expensive.”

“I would have done that for free,” Alison insisted. “Weddings and funerals! It looks like a beautiful day as well, sunshine and everything.”

Dermot added: “We’re fine with it. I bet the menu was amazing as well.”

Nick also opened up about the moment he fell in love with Claire, telling the This Morning stars: “Myleene played the humming chorus from Madame Butterfly because I was sitting next to her at the Royal Albert Hall when I turned to her and said, ‘I think I’m falling helplessly in love with you.’

“As the humming chorus played so Myleene learnt that. Thanks very much.”

Some viewers weren’t too impressed with the item however, with some urging the presenters to “move on” after covering the wedding on the show several times.

One viewer jested: “Has Nick got married? #thismorning.” Another vented: “Still circulating Ferrari’s wedding photos get over it! #thismorning.”
