Fry wants children with new husband

Stephen Fry says he carries a "ridiculous beam on my face" since marrying 27-year-old Elliot Spencer and says the pair are discussing children.

Stephen Fry says he is still "in the honeymoon phase" after his marriage to 27-year-old partner Elliot Spencer and says the pair have talked about becoming parents.

The 57-year-old broadcaster, who tied the knot with stand-up comic Spencer in January, told BBC Radio 4 host Kirsty Young he was "adoring" marriage.

"I'm still very much in the honeymoon phase. I think we both are, I hope so, and new and miraculous things have happened in our culture and I wanted to celebrate that and what better way than to be married. It's bliss, I do carry a ridiculous beam on my face."

Fry, who in the show dedicated Ella Fitzgerald's Do I Love You? to Mr Spencer, describing him as the "great love of my life", was asked if the couple would like to bring up children and answered: "We sort of talk about it and I suddenly think, 'Oh my goodness I'm such an age now', but actually that's rather good, but we better get on with it if we do."

Fry was also asked what he thought the Prince of Wales made of the revelations in his last autobiography that he had taken cocaine during a visit to Buckingham Palace.

"I think it's safe to say that he knows I'm naughty, and I think he's not a judgmental, mean, prissy sort of man.

"I think he would not be especially pleased at the thought of somebody doing that in the palace but nor would he leap to point you to the exit door and say 'never return again'."
