Two Doors Down star Harki Bhambra reveals he has married his long-term partner in a stylish London ceremony

Two Doors Down star Harki Bhambra has revealed he tied the knot with his long-term partner Abi Rice as he shared snaps from the stylish London ceremony on Monday.

The couple exchanged vows in a chic legal ceremony in the capital, with Harki dressed in a sharp cream suit.

Harki tied the knot with his partner earlier this year but on Monday he posted snaps from the celebration on Instagram.

After signing their marriage licence, the couple posed on the steps of the town hall where they were married.

The post was soon flooded with comments offering their congratulations, including: 'Congratulations to you both! What a beautiful couple xxx.'

'Congratulations to you both! Wishing u so much joys and happiness ahead.'

Harki is best known for playing Ian's boyfriend Jaz during Two Doors Down's first two series but he departed the show in 2016.

He has also starred in the BBC drama, Good Karma Hospital, where he played a surgeon called Dr Samir Hasan, and had roles in Our Girl and Call the Midwife.

The series, which was first launched on the BBC in 2013, followed married couple Eric and Beth Baird as they dealt with their difficult family and insufferable neighbours. 

The Scottish Bafta-winning comedy, based in a middle-class Glasgow suburb, also followed the White and O'Neal families on the quiet Latimer Crescent.

Alex Norton and Arabella Weir played the main character couple, and were joined on screen by the likes of Elaine C Smith, Jonathan Watson and Doon Mackichan. 

The popular series last aired in 2023, and its future was left in the balance after the show's co-writer Simon Carlyle tragically passed away aged 48.

But last Christmas the show returned for a one-off special, with fans delighted to see the show back on screen, in a fitting tribute to Simon's passing.

In May, it was then confirmed that the show would be back for another series.

Jon Petrie, BBC Director of Comedy, said: 'Eight series in, and the team are still making a world that audiences properly love spending time in.

'That’s no mean feat, and it’s a huge credit to the talent, care and commitment behind the show. We’re really proud to bring it back for another series.'

A BBC statement read: 'With its trademark blend of sharp character comedy and domestic disaster, the new series, set and filmed in Glasgow, drops us right back into the wonderfully claustrophobic and painfully familiar world of Latimer Crescent.' 

The sitcom has a dedicated fan base, drawing in a whopping 1.3million viewers when it debuted on BBC Two in 2016. 

This ballooned to 2.8million by the time the final series aired in a primetime slot on BBC One. 

It has also received widespread critical acclaim, winning an RTS Scotland Award for Best Comedy in 2017 and 2024 and Bafta Scotland Best Actress for Elaine C Smith in 2018 and Doon Mackichan in 2024.
