A source told The Sun: “Benedict had three best men, but only one was famous — and that was Judge Rinder.

“There was speculation that he chose another actor, but he wanted genuine old friends in the role.

“They keep it pretty quiet. They were friends before either found fame.”

Reports that the ‘Loose Women’ were bridesmaids and Jeremy Kyle was an usher have yet to be confirmed.
