Kelly Brook suffered a last-minute wedding disaster with her partner Jeremy Parisi after a storm scuppered their plans for a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Italy. The lovebirds, who are currently competing on Celebrity Race Across The World, were blindsided by the bad whether when they tied the knot in July 2022.
However, the radio presenter, 44, and the model, 39, managed to save the day by moving their wedding inside – which marked a historic moment. At the time, Kelly took to her Instagram Stories to share a clip of her handmaiden Elle, dressed in a black silky dress, drenched by the rain after she ran to the top of the Torre di Cicerone to organise the new ceremony.
Sharing a snap of herself in the wedding car, looking out into the rain, Kelly wrote: "We were granted permission by the [Mayor] to marry in the tower and made history." Perhaps it marked the first ever wedding inside the medieval tourist attraction, which is located on the so-called Acropolis of Arpino.
Event planner Angela Mugnai shared a peek at the original wedding set-up, which also boasted breathtaking vistas of the surrounding countryside. Chairs and white floral arrangements were placed on either side of the aisle, which lead to a large stone wall that had been decorated with trailing tendrils of greenery – it would have offered the most picturesque backdrop for the happy couple's wedding photos!

She explained: "Unfortunately it started to rain exactly 5 mins before the start of the ceremony and we had to move the ceremony inside. It was 8 months of no rain in that area of South of Italy."

The bride looked beautiful in four different bridal outfits, including a white gown with long lace sleeves for the ceremony, which she teamed with a sparkly tiara and veil.
She later changed into a sleek jumpsuit with a lace overlay skirt and a tuxedo dress with a lace trim – stunning!
