Charlie Lawson claims 'This Morning is not going to disappear'
Charlie Lawson said “I do” as the actor tied the knot with his now wife Debbie Stanley and none other than Eamonn Holmes was on hand to officiate their ceremony.
The Jim McDonald star, 64, and Essex-born Debbie, 59, have been in a relationship for over two decades.
After 22 years together the couple tied the knot at Shrigley Hall Hotel & Spa in Cheshire, a Georgian stately home near Macclesfield.
The TV star admitted he couldn’t be more thrilled that his pal Eamonn Holmes was in attendance.
“We actually legally got married at Macclesfield Registration Office two weeks before the proper wedding, with just three witnesses, so Eamonn could do the service,” he told OK!

Simon Gregson, who plays Charlie’s on-screen son Steve McDonald, was best man, while Alison King (the Street ’s Carla Connor) was one of Debbie’s eight bridesmaids.
Former Corrie stars Kym Marsh (Michelle Connor) and Vicky Entwhistle (Janice Battersby), plus Emmerdale ’s Claire King (Kim Tate) were also there to support their longtime pals.
Debbie wowed in a white beaded strapless bodice and wide-legged trousers teamed with a long, flowing coat and strappy gold sandals.
Charlie looked dapper in a navy blue suit paired with a matching tie and smart shoes.

During the ceremony, Eamonn was said to have guests in fits of laughter and Debbie cheekily quipped she “could have married him” instead as he was once her TV crush.
Kym Marsh later thrilled guests when she took to the mic to perform her former band Hear’Say’s chart-topping hit Pure & Simple during a round of celebrity karaoke.
Speaking about Debbie walking down the aisle, Charlie mused: “When you’ve been in love with someone for so long – 22 years – there’s still that excitement of waiting to see her, and Debbie looked extraordinary and very beautiful.
“It was a wonderful moment when she walked down the aisle. I shed a tear.”
Debbie added: “I had a wobble when my daughter, Sophia, broke down before we walked into the room. But I knew that very soon the tears would be gone and everyone would just listen to Eamonn and he would make it fun – which he did.”
The Corrie star also opened up about his friendship with Eamonn and why he wanted his pal to conduct the ceremony.
He commented: “Eamonn and I have been in TV a long time and we’ve become really good friends – we’re very similar human beings. Over the years, Eamonn has participated in lots of ceremonies – including George Best’s funeral – and I couldn’t think of anyone better to oversee our wedding.”
