Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes has nabbed an invite to one of the biggest weddings of the year. 

The Australian comedian, 54, disclosed during an interview on news.com.au’s podcast From the Newsroom that he is set to attend Spice Girl Mel B’s upcoming wedding.

Dave, who became acquainted with the pop star while recording the 2022 season of The Masked Singer, shared with hosts Andrew Bucklow and Bronte Coy that he almost overlooked the invitation due to his commitments with filming I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

‘When I was in the jungle, it was a month with no contact with anyone,’ he shared.

He humorously explained that it wasn’t until he went through his emails after returning home from the reality show that he discovered the invitation, which had been sent by Mel B’s wedding planner shortly after he entered the jungle.

He added: ‘I quickly emailed back, “yes … we want to go to the wedding!”‘

The timing couldn’t be better for the comedian, who revealed that the nuptials coincided with a pre-planned trip to London in July for a slew of shows.  

‘I swear to God, we’d booked this holiday (in advance) and the wedding is a day in-between a couple of gigs I’m doing, so it’s a perfectly situated wedding date,’ he told the podcast hosts. 

Mel B is set to tie the knot to hairstylist Rory McPhee at St. Paul’s Cathedral and is expected to invite a number of A-list stars to the wedding festivities. 

The Spice Girls singer, 48, who announced her engagement to Rory, 35, in November in 2022, recently hinted that the two have confirmed a wedding date.

And in a recent interview with The Sun, she explained: ‘As I have an MBE I am allowed to marry at St Paul’s. They only do a small number of weddings a year so we are on the waiting list.’

‘Because I have been married twice before we talked about that. I was very open and honest. I take marriage seriously and am actually very traditional. I spoke about how I was married for ten very abusive years.’

Elsewhere, Mel claimed the Spice Girls – Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Mel C and Geri Halliwell – are too ‘old’ to be walking down the aisle as her bridesmaids. 

Mel and Rory have been dating since 2019 and, in 2021, Rory proposed with a £100,000 (AUD $206,646) engagement ring.

One insider told the Sun hat Mel said ‘yes’ immediately, adding: ‘But it was incredibly ­emotional because after everything she has been through, it was a really big moment for her.’

Mel has previously said: ‘Because I have an MBE I can get married at the same place Princess Diana married Charles. I’m still waiting to here back from St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.

‘We have put all our forms in and we are just waiting on them to give us the day.’

The chapel at St Paul’s Cathedral is reserved for exclusive use by those with an MBE or OBE. Mel received an MBE in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.

Mel has also also delighted fans by revealing that a certain Spice Girl would be designing her wedding dress.

‘Once I get the date, I will go wedding dress shopping. Victoria Beckham wants to make me a dress,’ she said.

Mel has been married twice previously, first to Dutch dancer Jimmy Gulzar and second to film producer Stephen Belafonte.
