The 59-year-old revealed he "got lairy" after a fire alarm at his hotel, and he was still behind bars hours before he was due to tie the knot. "I would have had pre-wedding wobbles if I had known what was going to happen," she began. "So we got married and then between getting married and heading to the reception, Gary informed me that the night before…he'd been arrested and thrown in a police cell."

Even Nadia Sawalha seemed shocked by the story, responding: "What?"
"Basically, there was a fire alarm and he wouldn't leave the hotel until he knew the kids were alright and they wouldn't let him know where the kids were. Anyway, he got lairy. And then it was all fine and it was a false alarm and he went to sleep," she continued. But the drama wasn't over!

After receiving a knock on the door from four policemen, Jane said: "He got arrested, chucked into the cells underneath the place.
"He said, 'At one point, I could see through the bars that it was getting daylight.' We were getting married at 10am."
Trying to alert the policemen about his upcoming wedding, Gary was reportedly shouting, "I'm getting married", but they simply responded with: "Oh, we've heard that excuse!"
