PRETTYLITTLETHING founder Umar Kamani’s first dance with his wife at their £20million wedding can be revealed.

While the likes of Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli were jetted in to the South of France for the extravaganza, The Sun has since learnt neither of them performed for the couple's first dance.
In fact, it was Grammy-nominated singer Brian McKnight and American Idol star Pia Toscano who were given the big responsibility.
A guest told us: "Umar wanted Nada to feel like a real-life princess and knew Beauty And The Beast is her favourite Disney song.
"Brian and Pia are so talented and made a terrific duo. Their rendition was absolutely beautiful and Nada was blown away by the gesture."

Italian tenor Andrea did, in fact, sing when Nada walked down the aisle while Mariah was guest of honour for the black-tie ceremony on Friday.
In a Dior gown, the superstar songstress serenaded the guests with hits including Hero, Always Be My Baby and Emotions.
Umar’s close pal, ex-Coronation Street actor Richard Fleeshman performed Moon Dance at the reception.
The guest list at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc included Kate and Rio Ferdinand, Anthony Joshua, Ronan Keating, Tinie Tempah, Christina Milian, Naomi Campbell, Steven Bartlett, and Holly Valance with her property tycoon husband Nick Candy.

Former Corrie star Ryan Thomas — joined by partner Lucy Mecklenburgh and brothers Adam and Scott — gave a hilarious best man speech.
Each guest was treated to huge gift bags, printed with the monograms of the bride and groom.
The treats were left in their luxury bedrooms at the hotel, where a junior suite is £3,000 a night.
Umar set up PrettyLittleThing in 2012 with his brother Adam.
Umar — who proposed to Nada with a £1.45million diamond ring in 2021 — lavished pals with treatments in the Dior spa.
