The Chuckle Brothers star Paul Chuckle – real name Paul Elliott – looked almost unrecognisable in a throwback snap dating back to his wedding day with wife Sue.
In an Instagram post celebrating their 36th wedding anniversary, Paul posted a throwback snap to that very day, which showed Sue in a white silk gown clutching a bouquet, with a string of pearls around her neck. Paul, meanwhile, rocked a grey suit with a light pink tie as the pair both beamed at the camera.
Paul looked a lot different in the old snap, still sporting a moustache but with longer dark hair across his forehead. In an emotional caption, he wrote: “Can’t believe it’s 36 years already!! And from a blind date! Still adore each other… here’s to the next 36 years.”

Sue tends to keep herself out of the public eye, though it has been reported the pair own plenty of properties around the world – including homes in France, Greece and Italy. Paul has one son, Paul Jr., who even has a sweet tattoo on his leg in tribute to his famous dad.

Over the years, Paul has shared tidbits of his private life with Sue – and in 2020 confessed she had to check he was still breathing at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Paul wrote on X at the time: “Sue nearly scared me to death hovering over me at 2am in the dark APPARENTLY checking I was still breathing because she was so worried but today I don’t feel quite so bad. Hope you are well.”
Paul said his other half “didn’t know whether he was going to live or die” when he was battling the virus, as his temperature was sky high. “That was very worrying,” he said.

He also quipped that Sue was “jealous” the time he got to chat to Princess Margaret, telling the Express: “It must have been about five minutes I was talking to her, and my wife Sue was watching it on a screen from the orchestra pit, and she said, ‘What’s he talking to her about!?’” He added: “I think she was getting a little bit jealous!”
The ChuckleVision star tied the knot with Sue in 1988, while his late brother Barry married wife Anne in 1973. They weren’t the only famous ones in the family, though – Barry and Paul also had brothers Jimmy and Brian, who performed as a comedy double act under the name the Patton Brothers.

They’re also related to Gogglebox stars Pete and Sophie – Paul is actually the brother-sister duo’s great uncle. Sophie paid tribute to the beloved Barry after his death from bone cancer in 2018, writing: “A truly lovely and funny man to be around. You filled millions of childhoods with laughter and entertainment including mine and Peter’s. You will be sadly missed by many. Rest in peace Uncle Barry. Lots of love from me, to you.”
