Cole marries model

Christchurch's star of ballroom dancing reality shows, Brendan Cole, has quick-stepped up the aisle - to marry his sweetheart Zoe Hobbs.

Newlywed Hobbs said: "We had the most perfect wedding day either of us could have wished for."

The New Zealand dancer rose to fame as one of the professionals from the BBC TV show Strictly Come Dancing.

Cole, 34, met the 29-year-old model at a birthday party a few years ago.
