Screen star Eddie Redmayne has married his fiancee Hannah Bagshawe in a ceremony at a smart country house.

The 32-year-old Theory Of Everything star and the 31-year-old financial publicist exchanged vows at Babington House in Somerset yesterday.

Redmayne has landed nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Golden Globes last week for his portrayal of scientist Stephen Hawking.

His publicist, Carrie Gordon, confirmed the marriage, adding: "They celebrated with a small number of close family and friends."

The couple - who have been dating since January 2012 - announced their engagement very traditionally, by posting a notice in The Times newspaper earlier this year after the Les Miserables star proposed in May.

Redmayne recently told E! news of his excitement about getting hitched.

He said: "We are in the midst of it all now. The plan is a winter wedding. We're in the thick of that at the moment ... We're doing our bes ... I'm desperate. I'm jumping at the bit. I can't wait to be married."
