Stephen Fry has confirmed he is to marry his partner, Elliott Spencer.
Comedian and writer Fry, 57, has given formal notice to wed Mr Spencer, 27, at a register office in Dereham, Norfolk, near where he grew up.
Writing on Twitter after The Sun newspaper revealed the marriage plans, Fry said: "Oh. It looks as though a certain cat is out of a certain bag.
"I'm very very happy of course but had hoped for a private wedding. Fat chance!"

The pair are thought to have started their relationship last year.
Fry, a director of Norwich City Football Club, has been a familiar face on television since the 1980s and is most recently known for presenting the comedy quiz show QI, as well as for acting roles in The Hobbit and the latest series of 24.
His personal assistant said: "Stephen Fry is very happy and proud to say that he has set the wheels in motion for a wedding sometime in the future but no date has been set due to a busy work schedule."

According to documents on display in Norwich, the wedding will take place in Breckland Business Centre, which houses the register office.
The ceremony room is the "outstanding feature" of the building, according to the Norfolk County Council website.
It says: "Decorated in a modern style, in shades of turquoise, lilac and purple, there is seating for 40 people."
On the paperwork, Fry gives his occupation as an actor, while Mr Spencer is listed as a writer.

Fry, who has spoken openly about his struggles with drug abuse and depression, has largely kept his love life private, although he reportedly separated from a long-term partner five years ago.
He has also spoken about a suicide attempt in 2012 which saw him take "a huge number of pills and a huge (amount) of vodka" while filming a documentary about homophobia around the world.

I wonder when the headlines are going to read. "First high profile gay divorce: Stephen Fry taken to the cleaners by hubbie."

Best of luck to him, I suppose the relationship could work.

Still think he's a **** though.

I hate his pseudo intellectuality. They'll probably be wheeling him onto QI when he is 130


I doubt QI will still be around.

You mean Ricky Martin's doesn't count? Or Rosie O’Donnell's? Or Jodie Foster's? Or Ellen DeGeneres's?
Having to suck sweaty old man balls every night for a multi-million divorce is a tough gig though.

How'd you know he sucks?
If it's genuine then I'm really happy for them but Elliot looks so uncomfortable in all of the pictures. At least look mildly interested in him.
Wonder how quickly his depression will return when the relationship falls through.

Because by a process of deduction I have concluded that it is the only logical conclusion.

Yeah. I don't sense that he's not interested in him, but I feel that he's not comfortable. I thought it was the cameras.

Apparently not.

He ran away from a West End production after a bad review, leaving everyone in the lurch.

I've met him and he's very unpleasant to people who disagree with him in any way. He also came across as smug and self-righteous, and his pathetic boycott of HIGNFY and his stupid comments confirm that.

It still could be the cameras, I'm assuming Stephen is a lot more comfortable around them than him.
