Atomic Kitten star Liz McClarnon has married her partner Peter, sharing a picture from her stunning nuptials. 

The singer, 42, looked sensational in a Bardot neckline bridal gown that cinched in at her tiny waist and flared out into a gorgeous full skirt.

Sharing an adorable snap from her big day in an Instagram post on Thursday, Liz looked happier than ever as she kissed her husband on the church steps. 

She captioned the post: ‘A few days ago Peter & I tied the knot surrounded by some of the people we love and care for (and little Bean – our dog) and I wanted to share this lovely picture with you from our day. 

 ‘We are so grateful to everyone that was there, especially some that travelled from all across the world to be there with us (Australia, LA, Hong Kong, Ibiza…)’

She continued: ‘And finally… Dearest online friends that worked out what day it was, I just wanted to thank you for your lovely messages, you’ve been so kind. 

‘A dear friend said “You could see the love from the moon that day” and that’s exactly how it felt.’ 

Liz’s friends and loved ones were quick to comment on the post, with bandmate Natasha Hamilton writing: ‘Absolutely LOVE this pic, it was such a beautiful day and you guys are a match made is heaven here’s to your happily ever after.’ 

H from Steps, penned: ‘CONGRATULATIONS XXXX’ while Colan Noleen wrote: ‘Oh huge congratulations… so so happy for you both!!! ’ and Helen Skelton shared a slew of love heart emojis. 

Liz’s wedding comes a year after she shocked fans with a surprise announcement, as she wished her husband-to-be a happy birthday.

She shared a snap embracing her mysterious fiancé, surprising many of her friends who took to the comments.

Her large diamond engagement ring was visible on her ring finger, while she kept the identity of the man a secret.

Captioning the black-and-white photo she wrote: ‘Happy birthday to my husband-to-be. 

‘YEP! I’m going to marry the most beautiful human I’ve ever known and it’s his birthday today. Double yay!’ 

Her famous friends rushed to the comments to voice their congratulations to the pop star, but even they seemed surprised at the news. 

While Liz has since revealed her partner is called Peter she has not shared any pictures of his face or divulged more details. 

Liz was previously engaged to Blue singer Lee Ryan, who recently tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend Verity Paris.

Liz and Lee dated for around two years, and he popped the question in 2003 in a hotel in Oxford.

However they called off their romance shortly after, with Liz sayings she didn’t like dating a fellow celebrity.

Opening up about their decision to end things, Liz told Closer: ‘I’d never date another celebrity again. I was engaged to Lee and I didn’t like having our relationship in the spotlight.’

‘For me, it leads to paranoia. You read things about each other and wonder who said what.

She offered an explanation as to why her current boyfriend’s identity is secret, adding: ‘Dating a celebrity makes your relationship too public and I like to keep my private life private.’

After Lee she had a long-term partner Harlequin’s rugby star, Ryan O’Neill. They were together for two years from 2012 to 2014. 

Shortly after the split she said of potential motherhood: ‘I think I’ve been quite strong about not having babies with the wrong people.

‘Some people think I haven’t had the chance but I made a conscious decision not to have children with the people I was with.’

Liz also revealed that she would consider adoption in the future.

‘I’m open to adoption as well as I think it’s amazing. I love the idea that there is a child that needs to be loved and you can give that to them.’

Rep. Liz Cheney publicly nudged the Justice Department on Sunday to move against Donald Trump, warning that not holding the former president accountable for January 6 is a ‘graver Constitutional threat’ to American democracy than letting him off the hook.

Cheney – one of two Republicans on the Democrat-led Capitol riot committee – also shared a warning for her own party, which has largely ostracized her for her role on the panel.

‘I think that that he can’t be the party nominee’ in the 2024 presidential race, the Wyoming lawmaker told ABC News of Trump. ‘I don’t think the party would survive that.’

In her first sit-down interview since the January 6 committee’s explosive hearings began, Cheney confirmed that ‘yes,’ the panel was weighing a criminal referral for the former president over his role in the riot.

She also suggested Attorney General Merrick Garland could use the evidence lawmakers have presented so far to look into charging Trump.

‘We’ll make a decision as a committee about it,’ Cheney said, adding: ‘The Justice Department doesn’t have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral.’

‘And there could be more than one criminal referral.’

Though the legislator did not elaborate on who else was being considered, the committee she vice chairs has put a number of top political players in its crosshairs. 

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and several sitting House Republicans like Reps. Scott Perry, Andy Biggs and Marjorie Taylor Greene have all been named as having a part in Trump’s alleged scheme to overturn the 2020 election.

The committee has sought to frame the January 6 attack on the Capitol as Trump and his allies’ calculated ‘last stand’ in their plot to undermine American democracy rather than an incidental violent outburst. 

Asked if she believed her colleagues have laid out an effective argument for prosecution, Cheney said that was ‘ultimately’ a decision for the Justice Department.

‘I think we may well as a committee have a view on that and if you just think about it from the perspective of what kind of man knows that a mob is armed and sends the mob to attack the Capitol and further incites that mob when his own vice president is under threat, when the Congress is under threat,’ Cheney said.

‘It’s just – it’s very chilling and I think certainly we will, you know, continue to present to the American people what we found.’

Turning ahead to the next presidential race, Cheney denied that it would undermine democracy for a former president to be prosecuted by the Justice Department of the current chief, in the event of a rematch against President Joe Biden.

‘I have greater concern about what it would mean if people weren’t held accountable for what’s happened here,’ the Wyoming Republican said.

‘I think it’s a much graver constitutional threat if a president can engage in these kinds of activities and, you know, the majority of the president’s party looks away or we as a country decide, you know, we’re not actually going to take our constitutional obligations seriously. I think that’s a much more serious threat.’

However she denied that the hearings are in any way ‘political,’ an accusation frequently lobbed by Trump and his allies, though Cheney admitted she did not believe he is fit for office.

‘I think there’s no question, I mean, a man as dangerous as Donald Trump can absolutely never be anywhere near the Oval Office ever again,’ she said. 

If Trump wins the GOP presidential primary a third time, Cheney warned, it could spell the end of the party. 

‘I believe in the party, and I believe in what the party can be and what the party can stand for. And I’m not ready to give that up,’ she said.

‘Those of us who believe in Republican principles and ideals have a responsibility to try to lead the Party back to what it can be and to reject so much of the toxin and the vitriol.’

The representative left the door open to her own White House aspirations, which could pit her against Trump in a historically tense Republican race for the 2024 election cycle.

‘’ll make a decision about ‘24 down the road,’ Cheney said.

‘But I think about it less in terms of a decision about running for office and more in terms of, you know, as an American and as somebody who’s in a position of public trust now, how do I make sure that I’m doing everything I can to do the right thing?’ 

The most damning testimony for the January 6 committee so far has come from Meadows’ former White House assistant Cassidy Hutchinson, who told the panel last week that the former president tried to physically commandeer his vehicle from his Secret Service detail in a bid to accompany his supporters to the Capitol, and that he ‘lunged’ for his top agent’s throat when he was stopped. 

‘What Cassidy Hutchinson did was an unbelievable example of bravery and of courage and patriotism in the face of real pressure,’ Cheney said on Thursday.

She pointed out that nobody who was disputing Hutchinson’s story in the media has yet cooperated with the committee on the public record.

‘The Committee is not going to stand by and watch her character be assassinated by anonymous sources and by men who are claiming executive privilege,’ Cheney said.

‘And so we look forward very much to additional testimony under oath on a whole range of issues.’

Asked if the panel had anything to corroborate the presidential motorcade testimony, the lawmaker replied: ‘The Committee has significant evidence about a whole range of issues including the president’s intense anger.’

Last week, Hutchinson had testified that her former boss Meadows, along with Giuliani, personally sought pardons for their efforts linked to January 6 and Trump’s 2020 election fraud claims.

Among her other bombshell revelations about Trump were that he approved of his supporters chanting ‘Hang Mike Pence’ once they broke into the Capitol – adding grim new context to his tweet that day stating his former vice president lacked ‘courage.’

She also testified that the ex-president knew that his supporters were armed when he encouraged them to march on the Capitol. 

Since then Trump has distanced himself from Hutchinson and minimized her role in his administration, while hurling a litany of insults at the 25-year-old former aide.

‘The woman is living in fantasy land. She’s a social climber – if you call that social. I think it’s just a shame that this is happening to our country,’ Trump said on Newsmax.

GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming said Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ similarity to Donald Trump would make him a ‘dangerous’ presidential candidate in 2024.

In an interview with the New York Times, the conservative Trump critic said she could support a Republican nominee – but not one that peddled the ex-president’s election fraud claims.

Nor could she back DeSantis, Cheney suggested, despite the GOP governor’s skyrocketing popularity over his opposition to the Biden administration on COVID-19 mandates and legislation that Democrats have described as anti-LGBTQ.

‘I think that Ron DeSantis has lined himself up almost entirely with Donald Trump, and I think that’s very dangerous,’ she said.

Cheney added that she ‘would find it very difficult’ to support DeSantis.

Both DeSantis and Trump – as well as Cheney herself – have suggested they are considering running for higher office in 2024.

But the former president has been the most forthright of the trio, hinting at nearly every public appearance that he’s given serious thought to a third campaign.

He’s even teased that he may announce a decision before November’s midterm elections – a move that appears to be making GOP lawmakers nervous.

And according to South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds, it would play right into Democrats’ hands just as voters head to the polls to decide which party will control Congress for the latter half of President Joe Biden’s term.

‘Democrats, right now, would love to see President Trump announce before 2022,’ Rounds said on ABC News’ This Week on Sunday.

‘I think the reason why is because they’d like to have that draw attention away from the 2022 election and the candidates that they’ve got.’

He contended that Biden’s low approval – which is just 37 percent, according to a new ABC/Ipsos poll – has the president’s party anxious to shift the narrative.

‘And the other thing here is, is that right now with President Biden as far underwater as what he is, their principles, their issues, the fact that inflation is at over 9 percent, GDP is down, I think this is a good time for them to try to be looking at other things to talk about,’ Rounds said.

Trump addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas on Saturday night, touting his claimed victories and telling the crowd: ‘We may have to do it again.’

Like in previous years, the ex-president also dominated a straw poll of attendees asked about their thoughts on 2024. 

Without Trump in the mix, DeSantis took 65 percent of support – finishing dozens of points ahead of runner-up Senator Ted Cruz, who had 6 percent. 

Rounds on Sunday would not commit to supporting Trump in 2024, but did not speak out against the ex-president either. 

‘In this particular case, I’m going to focus on the 2022 election. We’ve got to win that back,’ the South Dakota Republican said.

He anticipated a ‘wide open field’ of candidates coming to the forefront. 

‘I’ll keep my powder dry for the 2024 run. Let’s see who else is coming up,’ Rounds said.

Cheney herself has also signaled in rhetoric that she’s looking to appeal to a wider field of supporters.

She’s likely going to lose her seat as Wyoming’s lone legislator in the House of Representatives next week, but has not ruled out a bid for president in 2024.

The conservative lawmaker is up against a Trump-backed primary challenger after her vote to impeach the ex-president over the US Capitol attack drew his ire. 

Multiple polls suggest that Cheney’s opponent Harriet Hageman will sail to an easy victory. The Wyoming GOP is backing Hageman after expelling Cheney, as are House Republican leaders.

But her anti-Trump rhetoric and leadership as vice chair of the January 6 committee has already earned Cheney support across the aisle. 

And she’s leaned into it in an attempt to relate to voters across the country, her New York Times interview suggests.

Cheney told the outlet that Wyoming moms are looking for ‘somebody who’s competent’ to lead.

She also more closely aligned herself with moderate Democrats with a history of service in US national security than fringe members of her own party.

‘I would much rather serve with Mikie Sherrill and Chrissy Houlahan and Elissa Slotkin than Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, even though on substance certainly I have big disagreements with the Democratic women I just mentioned,’ Cheney said.

‘But they love this country, they do their homework and they are people that are trying to do the right thing for the country.’ 

US Rep. Liz Cheney has hinted at a possible 2024 run for president against Donald Trump in her concession speech where she compared herself to Abraham Lincoln. 

In her concession speech on Tuesday in Jackson, Wyoming, Cheney made comparisons to President Lincoln, who lost a string of races before winning the White House.

‘Abraham Lincoln was defeated in elections for the Senate and House before he won the most important election of all,’ Cheney said.

Although hinted at presidential aspirations, the bulk of her time up on the podium was spent condemning former President Donald Trump, whose unfounded claims that the 2020 election was stolen she attributed to her loss. 

‘Two years ago, I won this primary with 73 percent of the vote,’ Cheney said as she recalled the pre-Trump political landscape. ‘I could easily have done the same again. The path was clear. 

‘But it would’ve required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election.. That was a path I could not and would not take.’ 

In her speech, Cheney warned Americans that Trump is not the choice for 2024, condemning the January 6 Capitol riot, of which she led the Senate hearings investigating the deadly violence. 

‘Our nation is barreling once again towards crisis, lawlessness and violence. No American should support election deniers for any position of genuine responsibility where their refusal to follow the rule of law will corrupt our future,’ Cheny said of the attack at the Capitol, which was conducted by Trump supporters.

‘Like so many Americans, I assumed that the violence and the chaos of that day would have prompted a united response… Instead, major elements of my party still vehemently defend those who caused it,’ she added.

She also called on people from all parties to unite against those denying the 2020 presidential results, saying that unfounded claims against America’s elections were an attack on democracy.  

‘This is not a game. Everyone of us must be committed to the eternal defense of this miraculous experiment called America.’ 

Trump lashed out at Cheney’s speech, reiterating his false claims that the election was stolen as he said it is her who is looming threat to democracy.    

‘Liz Cheney’s uninspiring concession speech, in front of a ‘tiny’ crowd in the Great State of Wyoming, focused on her belief that the 2020 Presidential Election was not, despite massive and conclusive evidence to the contrary, Rigged & Stolen,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social. 

‘It was, and that’s not even counting the fact that many election changes, in numerous States, were not approved by State Legislatures, an absolute must. 

‘Liz Cheney is a fool who played right into the hands of those who want to destroy our Country’! 

At the top of her concession speech, Cheney informed her supporters that she had called Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman and conceded the race – making the point that part of American democracy is ‘honorably’ accepting election results. 

Speaking to supporters at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Event Center, Hageman characterized her win as an effort to ‘dislodge entrenched politicians’ from Washington, D.C.’s ‘uni-party – those Democrats and Republicans who don’t really care which party is in power, just as long as they are.’ 

‘Wyoming has put the elites on notice,’ Hageman said, adding that if you want to represent the Cowboy State, ‘you damn better well live in Wyoming.’ 

She also thanked Trump for his early support – and used his trademark Apprentice line. 

‘If we put you in power you will be accountable … you will answer to us,’ she said. ‘And if you don’t, we will fire you.’  

Former President Donald Trump – who made Cheney his No. 1 2022 target – reveled in her loss. 

‘This is a wonderful result for America, and a complete rebuke of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs,’ the ex-president said.

‘Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others,’ Trump continued. ‘Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now.’ 

‘Thank you WYOMING!’ Trump added. 

Wyoming Republicans DailyMail.com spoke to Tuesday outside Cheyenne’s historic Storey Gymnasium had all voted for Hageman – with a lone Democrat saying he chose to stick with his party, and not cross over to bolster Cheney’s chances. 

Wyoming voters can switch political parties the day of the election. They can also vote at any polling place, but have to show identification. 

‘Well first of all she should represent her constituents, and she’s not clearly – because that’s why she’s getting voted out – but secondly here’s the reality, she didn’t grow up in Wyoming,’ said 58-year-old Cheyenne resident Roger Forystek, who works in insurance. 

Thanks to her father’s political career, Cheney split her time between Casper and Washington, D.C.  

‘And furthermore, she’s kind of a spoiled brat, in my opinion. She’s a spoiled brat. She’s so used to getting her way, when she doesn’t, she’s throwing a tantrum,’ Forystek added. 

A local pastor, who asked not to be named because of his line of work, told DailyMail.com that his vote for Hageman ‘was moreso to spank Cheney.’ 

‘She’s being sent to the principal’s office,’ he said. 

Cheney has become the most prominent House Republican critic of Trump – currently serving as vice-chair of the House select committee on January 6.

She’s paid a price – losing her No. 3 leadership position in the House Republican Conference and was expelled by Wyoming’s Republican Party, as the state’s voters in 2020 had voted Trump over President Joe Biden by about 43 points.  

The daughter of the former Republican vice president has remained steadfast in her criticism, saying in a campaign ad last week that her party’s embrace of Trump’s ‘big lie’ – his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him – is a ‘cancer.’ 

‘The lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen is insidious,’ she said in the video. 

She added that the false claims are a ‘door Donald Trump opened to manipulate Americans to abandon their principles, to sacrifice their freedom to justify violence, to ignore the rulings of our courts and the rule of law.’ 

For 20-year-old University of Wyoming student Abby Humble, who backed Hageman, it’s not the substance – but Cheney’s style. 

‘I don’t disagree with what she did, I think she was just trying to defend the Constitution,’ Humble told DailyMail.com. ‘But at the same time, I don’t really think that’s what the people of Wyoming wanted … because a lot of them are, you know, Trump supporters.’
