Eschewing conventional bridal attire, Willett, who is expecting a baby boy, opted for a cream trouser suit and wide-brimmed hat as she exchanged vows with Hoare - appropriately smart in a two-piece suit.

Standing alongside her mother, Ottilie appears to serve as one of Willett's bridesmaids, with the youngster wearing a conventional white lace dress.

Captioning the brief clip, she wrote: 'My feed is full of AI April fool's so I thought I would just leave this here...'

A separate video shared by Willett, shared six days earlier, suggested she was preparing for the ceremony, with the TV personality inviting followers to 'get ready with me for a day I'll never forget'.

News of Willett's engagement would no doubt have come as a surprise to Made In Chelsea fans, who watched her brief romance with co-star Arman Pouladian-Kari shortly before it was announced.

The TV personality later confirmed she and Hoare had known each other 'for years' before getting together romantically.

Writing for The Wedding Edition, she recalled: 'We stayed in contact but were never close. It was actually January 1st 2025, at my most single, after putting on my vision board for the year that I wanted to find love...

'That I replied to an Instagram story of his saying we should grab a drink and catch up soon. He loves telling the story that I "slid into his DMs".

'We went for a drink, our first date lasted three days, and I called my best friend Ollie Locke after he left and said, "I am going to marry this man."

She later shared the snap to her Stories and gushed :'He's here' 

Fans and famous friends were quick to share their congratulations, writing: 'You are already so loved, Orlando'

'It sounds quite unromantic, but I think in your 30s, and as parents (Harry has a daughter too), you want to be sure you are not wasting any time. It was a discussion we had right from the beginning.

'We aligned on everything and it all felt very uncomplicated. Not full of fire or passion, just easy.'

When Hoare finally proposed during their stay at The Lana, a new hotel which is a part of the Dorchester Collection, he did so with a 'placeholder ring', while she wore a long white dress with a cape.

Ahead of the proposal they were enjoying the sunset from the rooftop bar, before returning to their room so that Harry could 'grab something' before dinner.

Willett revealed that when the door opened their suite was filled with rose petals and candles, and there was a table set on the balcony for a private dinner.

The couple began the year with a lavish babymoon in Paris as they splashed out on a £1,800-a-night (€2,170) stay at the five-star Hôtel Plaza Athénée.

Willett, who returned to the long-running E4 show ahead of its 29th series in March, announced the news of her pregnancy to her Instagram followers.

She posted an adorable video of her getting a scan at the hospital, with daughter Ottilie at her side.

Just days after confirming the engagement, Willett told Instagram followers that a 'low-key small wedding' is planned for January.

She left in 2019, but has since returned for its 29th and 30th series, during which she embarked on a short-lived romance with Arman Pouladian-Kari.

The TV personality announced her separation from club mogul Carruthers in 2020 after the coronavirus pandemic forced the couple to postpone their wedding that July.

She told Instagram followers at the time: 'After months of consideration and many long and thoughtful conversations, Fraser and I have decided to separate. As you can imagine, this is an incredibly hard time for us as a family.

'This year has provided so many uncertainties and forced us to postpone and eventually cancel our wedding as well as being new and full time parents and government closures of businesses.

'Ottilie is our world and remains our number one priority. We also share so much love and respect for one another and our beautiful daughter and we are eager for her to grow up watching us mature into a modern family, as close friends.

'Fraser is the most incredible father and it fills me with great sadness that we have been unable to make our relationship work.'
