Charli XCX and The 1975 drummer George Daniel renewed their vows in an emotional second wedding ceremony in Sicily on Sunday, two months after an official civil service in London.
The pop singer, 32, wore a grecian-inspired white gown with a long train and a sheer overlay that revealed a corseted underlayer, while Daniel, 35, appeared in a relaxed taupe suit and an oversized silk shirt. Close friends and family, including Daniel's bandmate Matty Healy and Healy's mother, actress Denise Welch, attended the intimate ceremony, during which the couple exchanged rings and read vows to one another.
Witnesses described the pair alternating between laughter and tears as they spoke, with Daniel seen wiping away tears at several points. Guests gave speeches and one person performed a live serenade on guitar. After the vows, the newlyweds shared a kiss at the altar and celebrated with a live band, dancing and drinks.
Charli XCX, born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, and George Daniel legally married in August at Hackney Town Hall in London. The Sicily ceremony served as a larger, more formal celebration with friends from the music community in attendance.
In separate news, former world boxing champion Ricky Hatton, 46, was found dead at his home in Greater Manchester on Sunday morning. Greater Manchester Police said officers were called to a property on Bowlacre Road in Hyde, Tameside, at 6:45 a.m. after a member of the public reported concerns; police said there were not believed to be any suspicious circumstances.
Hatton, who won world titles during a decorated professional career and was awarded an MBE in 2007 for services to sport, had recently announced plans for a dramatic return to the ring with a scheduled fight in December. After retiring from active competition he worked as a coach and promoter. Friends and colleagues reported concern when Hatton failed to appear at an event featuring one of his boxers the previous evening.
Tributes from fellow celebrities and former fellow cast members of the ITV skating show Dancing On Ice appeared online within hours of the news. Olympian Greg Rutherford, who skated alongside Hatton in the 2024 series, described him as kind and supportive and said conversations they had about mental health would remain with him. Former Dancing On Ice contestant Amber Davies called Hatton "one of the sweetest" and extended condolences to his loved ones. Broadcaster Piers Morgan posted on X that he was saddened by the news.
Hatton had publicly discussed struggles with mental health and issues with drug addiction in recent years. His death prompted renewed attention to those challenges among athletes and entertainers who have faced similar difficulties.
Both stories have reverberated through the entertainment and sports communities: the Sicilian ceremony drew attention for its high-profile guests and sartorial details, while Hatton's passing has sparked messages of condolence from across boxing and broadcast circles. Police in Greater Manchester said inquiries into the circumstances of Hatton's death were ongoing, and no further details were released on Sunday.
