Congratulations are in order for Lottie Ryan – she's officially a newlywed!

The daughter of the late Gerry Ryan tied the knot to Fabio Aprile over the weekend, and kept the whole even a secret until this morning.

Announcing the good news on 2FM, Lottie was asked about her weekend, to which she replied, "yeah, I got married!"

She told the Breakfast Republic crew, "I'm a dark horse, I'm a sneaky thing I am.

"It was awesome, really good fun. Just my family and just his family. We had a ball, it was great."

The brunette beauty plans to have a bigger ceremony in Italy later this year, but chose to wed in an intimate Irish registry service this weekend.

We're delighted for her and Fabio!
