Boxer Amir Khan has revealed he spent an incredible £1million on his wedding and invited 4,000 guests - but says he didn't really enjoy the big day.
The 36-year-old former champion boxer told his I'm A Celebrity camp-mates his big day in 2013 marrying Faryal Makhdoom got out of hand.
He explained: "I had 4,000 people at my wedding.
"I mean there's family who then called family and friends. Everyone likes to be there, like they want big groups to come. And then if you call one family member they want to bring in the auntie, uncle, cousin.
"I must have spent about a million pounds on my wedding.

But the boxer has plenty of regrets about his big day in 2013 (amirkhan/Instagram)"The ice cream man got an invitation as well!"
When campmate Fatima Whitbread branded it "a waste of money", Amir went on to say he regretted the expense and would do things differently a decade on.
He said: "That's why I think no if I was ever to do it again, it would only be just me and the wife and keep it very simple.
"I wasn't in charge of the invitations. I think the whole of Bolton must have been there.

"It was like a massive gala or a big event happening."
