Writer and actor Stephen Fry has wed fiancé Elliott just 10 days after they announced their engagement.

The 57-year-old tweeted earlier today: “Gosh.@ElliottGSpencer and I go into a room as two people, sign a book and leave as one. Amazing.”

He also shared a photo of both himself and Elliott, 27, signing the marriage register.

Stephen’s old friend and comedy partner Hugh Laurie was one of the first celebs to tweet a message of congratulations.

He wrote: “Bloody hell it's happened! @ElliottGSpencer has made an honest man of m'col. Love and happiness to all!!”

The newlywed confirmed his engagement on Twitter on January 6, writing: “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!”

Stephen has credited comedian Elliott for pulling him out of a ‘deep depression’

In 2012, he survived a suicide attempt following the break down of his previous relationship.
