Dave Hughes on Mel B’s Chaotic Wedding: Fears of Groom at the Altar and Fans Admire ‘Hot Wife’ Holly

Dave Hughes has revealed what really went down inside Mel B’s star-studded wedding to long-time partner and hairstylist Rory McPhee. 

The Aussie comedian, 54, attended the lavish ceremony at London’s iconic St Paul’s Cathedral on Saturday, having formed a friendship with the couple while filming The Masked Singer Australia.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Dave posted a video and photos from the big day, including a glamorous selfie with Mel B and Holly, and a cheeky clip showing the couple catching the Tube to the venue.

‘Holly and I had a fantastic time at Mel and Rory’s wedding at St Paul’s Cathedral Saturday,’ he captioned the post.

‘Got to know both of them on Masked Singer and was stoked to watch them tie the knot. All class day celebrating an all class couple. A great time had by all.’

But speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, Hughes revealed there were a few unexpected moments inside the ceremony that didn’t make it to social media.

‘Mel was half an hour late,’ he said. ‘I was slightly concerned Rory was gonna be left at the aisle in his kilt – no undies and no bride. But she turned up!’

He added, ‘Mel’s little dog was entrusted to bring the ring down the aisle but she got lost and had to be chased around the chapel. Funny moment!’

Despite the delays, the ceremony was filled with memorable touches.

‘The choir were magnificent and the vicar even used a Spice Girls line in his homily,’ Dave revealed.

Guests were then transported to a glamorous reception at The Shard in vintage double-decker buses, where Spice Girl Emma Bunton and comedian Alan Carr mingled with family and close friends.

‘There were thousands of people waiting outside the church – heaps of paparazzi. They didn’t take any pics of me. Hurtful,’ he joked. ‘Emma Bunton is a lovely person. Alan Carr was a good laugh and loved Holly.’

But it was Dave’s wife Holly who ended up stealing the show online.

She turned heads in an off-shoulder yellow and white floral frock teamed with a cream fascinator – and fans quickly took to the comments section to share their thoughts.

‘Holly wife looking stunning as always,’ one fan gushed.

‘Hughesy you’re punching above your weight with Beautiful Holly there! Good luck to you,’ added another.

‘Holly – what a bomb! Dave – looking sharp,’ chimed a third.

Hughes laughed off the attention, telling Daily Mail: ‘I have had 23 years of ‘punching above weight’ comments. Take them as a compliment!’

The Masked Singer star previously revealed that he almost missed the wedding invite due to filming I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in South Africa.

‘When I was in the jungle, it was a month with no contact,’ he said. 

‘The invite was sent by Mel’s wedding planner not long after I entered – I only found it once I got home and checked my emails.’

‘I quickly emailed back, “Yes… we want to go to the wedding!”‘ 

He added that the wedding date couldn’t have been better timed.

‘We’d booked this holiday in advance and the wedding was a day in between a couple of gigs I’m doing, so it’s a perfectly situated wedding date’ he said. 

The wedding celebrations came just days after Hughes made headlines for a fiery encounter at Wimbledon, which he recounted on his radio show.

‘This English bloke behind us just would not shut up through the match,’ Dave said. 

‘Eventually I said, “Mate, can you just be quiet?” Everyone around us was happy I did it. What is it with entitled English w**kers?!’

Dave and Holly married on New Year’s Eve in 2006 and share three children: Rafferty, 15, Sadie, 13, and Tess, 11.
