The Breakfast host returned to his show on Wednesday morning after flying to New York City for the popstar and NFL player's wedding, which took place on Friday 3 July. Preparations for the Madison Square Gardens bash had been shrouded in secrecy, with feverish excitement only ramping up as it got closer to the big day.

The Details

"I couldn't even tell my boss, I just took annual leave. " Speculation has been rife about the finer details of the day, with 1,000 names reportedly on the guest list, which included stars from music, Hollywood and sport. Fielding questions from listeners, James spoke of how star-studded the event was.

"Every 10 seconds it was a room full of the most famous people in the world," he recalled. "I just couldn't believe. It was like going to Madame Tussauds but the wax was animated and you could interact with the wax and it talked back to you, it was absolutely mad.

" Last year, Swift confirmed on Radio 1 during an interview with James that he would be invited to her wedding. But there were questions around whether this was going to happen – especially as he was speaking at the Crossed Wires podcast festival in Sheffield the day before. However, after a few cryptic Instagram stories, James posted on Instagram on Saturday that he did in fact, watch the superstar couple tie the knot.

What Experts Say

He has since followed up with a separate Instagram post showing his trip, which included some behind the scenes shots as well as pictures from visiting various tourist destinations.

Graham Norton was the only other person in the UK who was publicly invited, so James attended a "secret dinner" at his house so their spouses could meet.

He told listeners on his show that he couldn't spill all the secrets from the wedding but could share some "fun stuff".

The development has drawn wide international attention, with diplomatic circles watching closely.
