Hollyoaks star Kieron Richardson marries Carl Hyland in front of bridal castmates... but one busty guest steals focus from the newlyweds

It's not long since Kieron Richardson tied the knot in his on-screen wedding and on Saturday the Hollyoaks star celebrated his real wedding to his boyfriend Carl Hyland.

Kieron, best known for playing Ste Hay on the soap, and his new husband Carl were surrounded by a bevy of soap stars and friends with the bridesmaids all in long white dresses, giving the impression of more brides than grooms.

Though one guest stole focus by arriving a rather busty number that accentuated her ample chest.
