The 25-year old former Dr Who assistant and her new husband emerged from the Parish Church of St Mary's in Eastbourne after a 50-minute New Year's Eve ceremony.

Piper's ex-husband, radio presenter Chris Evans, and his new wife Natasha Shishmanian were among the wedding guests, as was Dr Who actor David Tennant.

It is believed that the wedding reception is being held at one of Evans's pubs.

At the age of 15, Piper became Britain's youngest female singer to have a number one single with 'Because we want to' in 1998.

She has since turned to acting and following a successful stint on Dr Who, Piper recently took up the role of Belle de Jour in the ITV2 series Secret Diary Of A Call Girl.

Fox, not quite as famous as his new wife, is best known for playing Kevin Whately's Lewis in the spin-off from Inspector Morse.
