Elliott, 27, a writer and comedian who is 30 years Stephen’s junior, said their age gap was no problem and said: “Humour is the key to everything”
Stephen Fry’s new husband has spoken for the first time about their relationship... and revealed that laughter binds them together.
Elliott Spencer, who wed the TV host and actor last month, said: “Humour is the key to everything. We laugh all the time.”
After saying Stephen was the “love of his life” he added: “Humour is the binding thing in our life. I think that’s what brought us together.
“It’s been incredible. We met at a house party three years ago after we were introduced by friends. The rest is history.”
Elliott, 27, a writer and comedian who is 30 years Stephen’s junior, insisted their age gap was no problem. He said that he ignores people who disapprove of it.
Speaking at the Baftas on Sunday, which was hosted by Stephen, he said: “I don’t care what people think, Stephen is the love of my life, the light of my life.”

The writer and comedian explained that he is having a break from stand-up to concentrate on his photography.
He added: “I’m just really happy and enjoying being married. It’s all been really exciting and new. I’m not really doing anything else.
“I’m focusing on photography now rather than comedy, and being creative. I’m hoping to hold an exhibition so Stephen and all our friends can see my work.”
The newly-weds, who tied the knot just 11 days after announcing their engagement, attended movie producer Harvey Weinstein’s star-studded afterparty following the glittering awards ceremony at London’s Royal Opera House.
There they mingled with film stars including Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley.
Elliott explained: “I’ve stayed out partying with his sister Jo. She’s amazing. We’ve got a great balance like that, he does his thing. I do mine.”
Elliott and Stephen had a low-key wedding at a register office in Dereham, Norfolk, but last week their pal Jonathan Ross revealed they are planning a bigger second ceremony for showbiz friends.
