Gay EastEnders star John Partridge ties the knot

EastEnders actor John Partridge has had a civil partnership.

The star, 40, tied the knot with long-term boyfriend Jon Tsouras at the Trafalgar Tavern pub in Greenwich on Friday.

The couple had a small ceremony with family and friends.

According to the Daily Star, many of the actor's soap co-stars turned up.

A source said: "It was a good old-fashioned East End knees-up and everyone was in good spirits for John’s special day.

"Once the formalities were over it really was all about celebrating and boy did they put on a good bash.

"The champagne flowed all night and everyone took to the dancefloor until the early hours."

Partridge plays gay character Christian Clarke in EastEnders.
