And the bride wore grapes....

Roxy Mitchell prepares to marry next week in EastEnders in a strange lace confection with a large bustle.

Never mind her pregnancy bump, she should be asking: "Does my bum look big in this?"

Of course, satorial worries pale into comparison when you consider she's marrying psycho Sean, but it made me think about the awful dresses which soap nuptials have given us in the last few years.

I mentioned Jacqueline Pirie in an earlier blog, and she had one of the strangest Coronation Street wedding dresses ever when she married Mike Baldwin. It cost a bomb but looked atrocious, bizarrely covered in bunches of grapes. She even had grapes in her hair.

And then there was Cilla (pictured lower down), who can always be relied upon to raise the chav factor on any occasion. When she became Mrs Battersy-Brown, she wore an horrendous nylon affair with huge flowers. At least she covered up her legs, unlike her bridesmaid Yana.

Sorry if you've had the bad taste to wear these frocks in real life. That actually happened to a friend of mine, not that Lucy has bad taste. She saw her (really nice) wedding dress on the cover of magazines modelled by Coronation Street's Claire when she married Ashley.

It was obviously a popular model with TV prop departments, as it was also sported by Olivia Colman in the Channel 4 comedy Peep Show, in the ill-fated wedding between Mark and Sophie which ended just after they exchanged vows.

As Lucy says: "I'm glad I got married first, otherwise it wouldn't have been a surprise when I walked down the aisle in it! I was not impressed at seeing my beautiful dress being dragged through some late-night comedy show."

Has anyone else out there seen their clothes appear on TV?
