Proud father of the bride Gregg Wallace has shared the sweet moment he first saw his daughter Libby in her wedding dress as she tied the knot with her partner this weekend.
The ex MasterChef star's 29-year-old daughter looked gorgeous in a white short-sleeved lace wedding dress and veil as she said 'I do' to partner Alex Marsden on Saturday.
Gregg, 61, who shares his daughter with late wife Denise Lovell, couldn't contain his smile as he laughed with Libby outside the venue.
And now Libby's makeup artist has shared a new clip of Gregg seeing her for the first time before she walked down the aisle.
As he entered the room to see her in her gown he looked immediately emotional and in awe of how stunning she looked.
Holding back tears he then approached her and held her hands as he exclaimed: 'You look beautiful Libby!'

The bride styled her blonde tresses in a neat up do and held onto a pretty orange and white bouquet as she laughed with her dad ahead of walking down the aisle.
The former BBC star, who was dressed in a dapper grey suit and brown suede shoes, gushed he is 'so proud' of 'my beautiful and clever little girl'.
'My Libby Lilly Wallace is now Mrs Marsden. So proud,' he penned in a post on Monday.
Gregg added: 'Couldn't be more proud of my beautiful and clever little girl. More pictures to follow.'
He also gave a glimpse inside the couple's countryside venue which was lit with fairy lights and candles.
The newlyweds, who got engaged in Copenhagen in October 2024 after two years of dating, had personalised napkins with 'Libby and Alex 10.10.2026' written on and a sign which read, 'Welcomed to out next chapter' for their autumn wedding day.
Gregg welcomed Libby and son Tom, 33, from his second marriage to pastry chef Denise, who tragically died in 2017 following a tough battle with alcohol addiction.
The former couple married in 1999 and divorced in 2004.
Gregg and fourth wife Anne-Marie, who he married in 2016, welcomed his third child, son Sid in 2019.
Gregg and Anne-Marie, who is 22 years younger than him, tied the knot at Hever Castle in Kent in August 2016, having met three years earlier.

It comes after Gregg insisted that he 'doesn't need' to sell his £1million mansion, despite putting the property on the market following his MasterChef axe.
The former TV presenter was dismissed by the broadcaster last July after an investigation into 83 historical allegations of workplace misconduct, with 45 accusations against him subsequently upheld.
He later sued the BBC and BBC Studios Distribution Limited for up to £10,000 in damages over allegations they failed to disclose his personal data, which caused him 'distress and harassment', before dropping his claim in February.
But taking to Instagram Gregg recently insisted while he may not be as wealthy as he once was, he was continuing to earn money through personalised video site Cameo to pay all bills.
He said: 'People are going to say "Well you wouldn't be selling [your house] if you were still earning all that money from the television" and that's probably true, but I am not.
'And people say "Well you have to sell" well no I don't it's been two years since I've earned any money from the television and thankfully I'm working and earning a living and paying the bills'.
He signed up to the website in December, where fans can receive a video for £38.05 while it will cost a business £342.47, or anyone can message him directly for £2.28.

The profile declares that the 'former presenter of MasterChef, Inside The Factory and Eat Well For Less' is 'excited' to make videos for his fans.
He went on to explain that his family could move to an equally big house 'somewhere cheaper' but he no longer wanted to pay to upkeep such a large property.
'I am in my sixties, I want to create a lifestyle that's easily affordable and all of the pressure is off, that feels to me like comfort.'
Last month he revealed he was selling his Kent mansion to move to Italy, while embarking on a 'new chapter'.
Gregg further announced his plan to homeschool his young son – who is autistic and non-verbal.
