Shaun Ryder has married his long-term girlfriend in a surprise ceremony.

The ex-Happy Mondays frontman wed his partner Joanne in Worsley following the christening of their daughter Lulu at the nearby St Charles RC Church in Swinton, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Ryder's manager Warren Askew said: "Congratulations to Shaun and Joanne on their wedding.

"It was a surprise to everyone after the baptism of Lulu, but was a really lovely day."

Parish priest Father Paul Smith added: "The baptism was a nice family affair. They headed from here to their wedding at The Court House."

Ryder recently confirmed that he and dancer Mark 'Bez' Berry would be reforming their '90s group Black Grape for a one-off London date on April 1.
