Pop legend and former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Leo Sayer has married his partner Donatella Piccinetti after nearly four decades together.
The couple tied the knot at a wedding at their home in Australia with just a few of their closest pals in attendance.
The happy news was announced via a post on Instagram.

It read: “This past weekend was truly a dream…
“After being partners for almost 39 years, Donatella Piccinetti and Leo Sayer got married in their garden in the Southern Highlands on Saturday 15th of April.
“It was a very private ceremony where the couple were joined by 40 of their closest friends.

“There was a reception lunch held afterwards at the famous Magpie Restaurant in Berrima.
“The weather was sunny, the bride was radiant, the groom looked handsome and they couldn’t be happier with how the day went.”
A picture of the happy couple was shared on Instagram, by Marie Claire Australia founder Janice Frank.
The 74-year-old Grammy winner – who picked up that gong in 1978 for his hit You Make Me Feel Like Dancing – was previously married to Janice Lisseter, but they got divorced way back in 1985.

He has topped the charts both here and over on the other side of the Pond.
But younger people might know him more from his ill-fated stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2007 – a series that ended in disaster.
That was the year the whole thing fell victim to a racism storm, with Ofcom bombarded with complaints over how Shilpa Shetty was treated by Jade Goody, Jo O’Meara and Danielle Lloyd.

Last year, Leo – who clashed with security as he tried to get out of the CBB house early – told the Scottish Sun: “I broke out of there because it was a horrible experience and I still don’t know why I ever agreed to do it.
“But I’d rather be recognised for my songs and I still tour because I enjoy it. All I want to do is be on stage. I love to entertain.”
Leo was born in Shoreham, on the Sussex coast, in May 1948 but has been an Aussie citizen since 2009.
