Big Brother 2023 star Yinrun Huang and fiancé Luke have announced that they secretly tied the knot in a sweet festive ceremony - four months after getting engaged.
The reality star, 26, took to Instagram to announce the news on Sunday alongside a montage of the big day, which saw her parents jetted in from China to both meet the groom for the first time and attend the ceremony.
Yinrun, who came fourth in the ITV2 series, looked gorgeous in a white lace fishtail gown with keyhole detailing, which she teamed with a veil and later a faux fur shrug.
Meanwhile Luke cut a dapper figure in a classic black suit and beamed as he exchanged vows with the stunner before lovingly lifting her into his arms.
The venue had been decorated a large Christmas tree and they were joined by only their parents for the 'intimate ceremony'.
Yinrun captioned the post: 'We have something very special to announce that we've been keeping a secret'.

'Earlier this week Luke and I got married! It was a very intimate occasion, attended only by our parents'.
She also wrote: 'We couldn’t wait to share this with you. Thank you to you all for all of your love and support throughout the past year'.
'It means more than you know. We are truly grateful for each and every one of you, and we’re so excited for the future together!'.
In September Yinrun was forced to hit back at trolls after being bombarded with 'hurtful attacks' over her relationship with Luke.
She had previously shared a sketch that poked fun at her relationship with her then husband-to-be, but since revealed that the post had been flooded with vile comments 'directed at her appearance.'
Addressing the abuse, Yinrun fought back tears as she and her fiancé Luke appeared in the video to insist the abuse would not stop them from posting their clips.
Since leaving the Big Brother house, Yinrun has amassed nearly 300,000 followers on Instagram, and 600,000 on TikTok, thanks to her series reviewing classic British restaurants and takeaways.
In her video, Yinrun said; 'Recently I've received a surge of not very nice comments on one of my recent videos, of me and my fiancé Luke.

She wrote: 'We couldn’t wait to share this with you. Thank you to you all for all of your love and support throughout the past year'.
'If you know me, you know I don't take myself too seriously. And I actually love banter in the comments however this time it was quite a lot of hurtful attacks, directed at my appearance.
'For example, something like how did she get him with a face like this and ''bro must have lost a bet'', with a lot of them getting thousands of likes as well.'
The video in question was titled 'Shooting my shot with the handsome guy next to me on the train' and showed Yinrun 'asking' Luke out on a date, only for him to remind her that they're already engaged.
Hitting back at the abuse, Luke said: ;I think it's just ridiculous, because I think Yinrun is incredibly beautiful and not to mention, clever, funny and you know just an all-around great girl.
'Which, you know, you heard me say so much in my proposal video so I just find it so ridiculous. So it just didn't make any sense to me.'
Yinrun went onto add: 'Thank you Luke. Therefore I wanted to say to anyone else who might be experiencing negative comments.
'It's very difficult, but please don't let it get to you. We need to support each other through this and mental health is so important. Therefore we need to take care of ourselves and we are in this together.
'I understand that trolling is always the possibility when you are very active on social media therefore I wanted to make it clear that I'm not going to let negativity stop me from making content.'
In the comments of her post, Yinrun added: 'Thank you all again for being such an incredible community, I've become a much stronger person since I started content creation, and I'm not going anywhere.'
The star also received sweet comments of support from her former housemates, with Olivia Young writing: 'Awww Yinrun my girl. You guys are so well suited and would each go to the ends of the earth for one another.

Yinrun announced she was engaged in August, and shared with her TikTok followers the emotional moment her partner Luke dropped down to one knee
'You know your own life better than any trolls on the internet sister!! Love you lots.'
Kerry Riches added: 'Sending you lots of love and strength,' while Hallie Clarke went onto say: 'Aw baby. I'm sending loads of love x.'
Last month, Yinrun shared that she and Luke were engaged, with the video of the sweet proposal becoming a surprise viral hit.
She took to her TikTok page to post the sweet video, revealed in the caption that her partner had 'secretly learned Chinese to propose'.
The proposal video originally kicked off with the couple learning a dance for a TikTok video, however Luke quickly interrupted their dance routine to propose in Chinese, with his other half translating the sweet words into captions.

Her partner said: 'I wanted to give you a special message and I wanted to do so in your native language. Sorry in advance if my pronunciation is bad.'
'Because of you everything is the best, I am so so so grateful to have you in my life. Every moment we spend together is filled with happiness,'
'And your laughter fills me with warmth. Your love has brought me peace and contentment.'
'I am so lucky to have you in my life and I promise to always adore you and I hope to build a lifetime of memories together. Will you marry me?'
Yinrun held back tears as her partner shook with nerves while he slipped his hand into his pocket revealing her engagement ring.
The Shanghai-born reality star starred in the 2023 season of Big Brother and finished the programme in fourth place.
