JEFF Brazier says he "couldn't be happier" after marrying fiance Kate Dwyer.
The couple tied the knot in a cliff-top wedding ceremony in Portugal on Saturday - with Jeff's sons Bobby, 15, and Freddie, 14, as best men.
And Jeff is delighted with his new wife following their "really special"; big day.
He told magazine: ";I couldn’t be happier. This isn’t just any wedding, this is a really special one.
"We spend some lovely family time together as the four of us.
"I personally love it when Kate does things with the boys when I'm not around.
"I know the time Kate has with her family and friends is very precious to her and I know that Kate now realises boys are family.
"When she does take the kids with her, everybody always has a good time. That for me makes me feel like I'm marrying the right person."
Before Jeff confirmed his nuptials, his pal Robbie Savage shared his good news with the world, writing on Twitter: "Best of luck to one of our team @jeffbrazier who’s not on the show today cos he’s getting married to @katedwyerPR. Have a great day both of you but make sure you’re back next week mate! Only one Saturday allowed off during the season!"
It comes nine years after Jade Goody - the mother of Jeff's boys - died from cancer.
Jeff and Kate announced their engagement last October in Hello! magazine and revealed he got down on one knee during their recent romantic holiday in Ibiza.
The presenter said got the approval of his sons before he asked Kate to become his wife.
Speaking to the magazine, he admitted: "Both boys were intrigued by how it would work, how I’d do it.
"They said, ‘What will you do, Dad, if she says no?’ I said, ‘I don’t want to be complacent, but I think we’re alright’."
Jeff, 39, explained there were "a hundred different ways" he could have proposed but he ended up going for a natural and spontaneous proposal.
He revealed: "We walked out to the end of a jetty and sat on a wall that formed a harbour for the local fishing boats.
"Kate talked about how special the moment was, how relaxed and happy she felt, and I thought, ‘Let’s do it now’.
"I told her I loved her, and had been thinking about this for a while. I pulled the box with the ring out from my back pocket and asked if she would marry me. It was a very special moment."

He has credited Kate for helping the boys deal with the grief of losing their mum, who died after a battle with cervical cancer in 2009 aged just 27.
He said: “What's going to be exciting to me is seeing the kids as older brothers, they'll be incredible. And it'll teach them about other responsibilities for them.
“It'll be fantastic for me too, I'll get to experience parenting within a relationship and actually be married, because I haven't experienced that – not even as a child.
“It'll be like putting things on track, being a real human being who is married and has a child with someone that he loves and stays with.
“Not that I didn't love Jade, but to be with someone where the relationship blossoms and goes from strength to strength... it's what we all try to create.”
Jeff made an effort to make sure that the two boys never forget their mum - and told Woman's Own that they “miss her most when things aren't going well".
“We have Mum’s Day once a month, where we do a big activity and dedicate it to Jade. It’s my job to keep their account of memories of their mum topped up.
“Not all the stories about Jade are suitable – some magazines are in a drawer that will be available to them as adults if they should wish to view them.”
