Comedian Bob Mortimer has revealed that he got married less than an hour before he went into hospital for a triple bypass operation.
He wed his partner of 22 years Lisa Matthews on the morning of the operation.
Mortimer's heart trouble forced him and comedy partner Vic Reeves to cancel the first leg of their 25th anniversary UK tour last October. It will now begin on 30 January and continue until 16 February.
The 25 Years of Reeves and Mortimer: The Poignant Moments tour is the comedy duo's first live tour since 1995.
Speaking to the BBC's Tim Masters, the pair said the show would feature some of their most popular characters.
