Stephen Fry wants to start a family.

Asked if they want to have children, he said: "Well that is peeping into Volume two.

"Volume One, the marriage is still... I hope it will never close, but in Volume two the little family, the patter of tiny feet. Come back to me on that one!"

Stephen - who began dating the 27-year-old writer last summer - is enjoying every aspect of married life so far.

He said: "It still feels good. It's great. I have my wedding ring on."

The couple tied the knot in a low-key ceremony at a registry office in Dereham, Norfolk, East England, and Stephen admits they were able to keep the nuptials secret with the help of the registrar.

He admitted to The Sun newspaper: "She brilliantly put a false date in the computer so anybody who looked at it would think we were due to be married on March 7."

The 'Sherlock Holmes' actor enjoyed a first dance with Elliott at their wedding reception but insists it was more of a "shuffle" to a song which wasn't their initial choice.

He explained: "We did have a first dance but anybody who has seen me dance would not call it a dance. It was a shuffle.

"I wanted to choose a tune written by Al Jolson. It is the only great tune he wrote as far as I know.

"It's called 'Oh How We Danced on the Night That We Were Wed'. But I could not get it on my iPhone or my Android so we had Cole Porter instead."
