"Now the Daily Mail has learned that 1970s pop superstar David Essex has married for a third time - to a pretty brunette co-star.
At the age of 63 and a grandfather-of-three, Essex has wed Susan Hallam-Wright – who is 26 years his junior.
The couple met during the nationwide tour of musical All The Fun Of The Fair at the end of 2008 and the Daily Mail revealed they were engaged two months ago.
The wed in a private ceremony at a church on the outskirts of a small north Welsh village on Monday in front of fewer than 30 close friends and family.
Last night, Essex confirmed the marriage to the Daily Mail. He said: ‘Yes, it was a wonderful, small, private wedding.'
The star wed Miss Hallam-Wright under his real name David Cook at St Cross Church in Talybont, outside Bangor.
The wedding party then enjoyed a small evening reception at the luxury Treysgawen Hall Hotel at Capel Coch, near Llangefni, on Anglesey.
The couple chose the 19th century Church of Wales place of worship as the bride’s grandfather was a former archdeacon in the area.
A source said: “They wanted a private ceremony and chose to come to Wales due to Susan’s family connection with the area.
“It was a quiet ceremony in front of a close knit group of friends and family before a lovely reception at Treysgawen. It was a wonderful day for them both.”
The pair became close after appearing together in Essex’s musical All The Fun Of The Fair, which is currently running at the Garrick Theatre in central London.
Pretty brunette Susan, 37, was playing Mary, the girlfriend of the son of Essex's character, fairground owner Levi.
The Daily Mail revealed in July how the pair had become engaged.
At the time, he revealed: ‘I met Susan about a year-and-a-half ago when we did the All The Fun Of The Fair tour.
We got on very well. We got engaged last Christmas. There’s no planned date for a wedding - but we’re very happy.’
Essex and Miss Hallam-Wright – who hails from Sidcup, Kent - live together in his two-bedroom flat in Covent Garden, central London."
