NORTH-EAST comedian Vic Reeves is reported to be spending £30,000 on his wedding to former topless model Nancy Sorrell.

The 43-year-old star, from Darlington, and his fiancee, 25, are reported to be planning to say their vows at the exclusive Eastwell Manor, in Kent, on January 25.

The couple have reportedly hired all 23 rooms at the hotel for the celebration, which will be recorded by three official photographers.

There are expected to be a number of famous faces at the service, including Vic's comic sidekick, Middlesbrough-born Bob Mortimer, who is tipped to be the best man.

Other stars expected to be on the guest list are Mark Lamarr and Jools Holland, as well as Vic's first wife, Sarah, and their two children.

Vic proposed to Nancy, a former Stringfellows dancer from Essex, during a night out at London's trendy Groucho club. For the past year, the couple have been living together in Kent.
