JORDAN Banjo has married Naomi Courts in a stunning ceremony in front of their children and his Diversity co-stars.

The 29-year-old dancer and his girlfriend of seven years tied the knot after their wedding was delayed due to the pandemic.

Their loved ones, including kids Cassius, four, and three year old Mayowa, watched them walk down the aisle as husband and wife on August 14 during the UK's heatwave.

Jordan described scenes at Ashridge House in Hertfordshire that night as a “wedding crossed with Magic Mike” as guests began to strip off on the dancefloor to cope with the heat.

Jordan had asked his Diversity and KISS FM co-presenter Perri Kiely to be his best man, as well as his dad and Naomi’s father.

“Without sounding cringey, people say, ‘It was the best day of my life’ and you’re like, ‘Really I’m sure it was quite stressful.’ But it’s like your slice of your own personal little fairy tale,” Jordan told OK! from South Africa, where the loved-up couple are on honeymoon.

The couple exchanged vows in a chapel with Naomi, 30, wearing a shimmering gold gown from designer Berta.

Her father walked her down the aisle to the sound of James Arthur’s ballad Say You Won’t Let Go played by a string quartet.

Jordan said of the moment he saw her: “It stopped me in my tracks for a second, because first of all it was a direct opposite dress to what I thought Nay would go for.

"I thought she’d go for a fishtail dress. When I saw the dress I was like, ‘Jeez she looks like a real-life princess.’

"Nay always has her hair down, and she had her hair up, her make-up looked beautiful. Everything about her was not what I expected, but in a really positive way. I thought she looked stunning. I thought, ‘Ah look, there’s the rest of my life.’”

Naomi's best friend and maid of honour Leanne, two other friends, Jordan’s sister Talisa and his brother Ashley’s wife Francesca were her bridesmaids on the day and they clubbed together to organise her a unique gift.

She said: "They got us the most beautiful gift, which was this live painter – I didn’t even know she was there. She snuck into the chapel, took a picture of us and then literally did this live painting in the middle of our drinks reception. I planned this wedding, every single fine detail, so I was like, ‘Who is this?’"

Guests enjoyed plates of chicken liver parfait for starter, and tornado of beef fillet for main which was topped off with optional desserts of vanilla pod creme brulee, chocolate caramel cake and crispy apple nougat.

The speeches were "an emotional rollercoaster" with even Naomi's mother taking her turn to say a few words about Jordan and her daughter.

Meanwhile, Ashley had everyone crying with a speech that included a poem he had written about the couple, who later danced for the first time as man and wife to an acoustic version of Justin Bieber’s Holy.

Burgers and hotdogs fed guests late into the evening while everyone boogied to a DJ, saxophonist and bongo player. 

The Diversity dancer proposed to Naomi in summer last summer.
