Cheryl Fergison marries in Morocco

EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has reportedly married her Moroccan boyfriend.

The actress, who plays Heather Trott in the BBC One show, wed 25-year-old shop assistant Yassine Al-Jermoni in a ceremony near his home in Agadir.

The Sunday Mirror claims that Fergison has now hired a lawyer in a bid to secure a UK visa for Al-Jermoni, whom she met on the internet. A UK celebration will follow.

The soap star has taken a break from work and is now splitting her time between Agadir and her home in Sidcup, Kent.

A neighbour at their Agadir apartment said: "Cheryl seems to have settled in well during her trips here.

"She goes out in the ­mornings to put the rubbish out and buy croissants from a local bakers. Yassine's a late riser and you don't see much of him until mid-­afternoon."

Fergison recently admitted that she is "crazy in love" with Al-Jermoni.
