Jonathan Van Ness has revealed he has married his “best friend” Mark Peacock.

The Queen Eye star shared the news as he reflected on 2020 in a lengthy Instagram post.

He wrote: “Thank you universe for allowing me to be here & thanks to everyone who has supported me. 2020 was a year unlike any other.

Van Ness began the caption of his post. “I got to campaign & get more involved politically.

“I finished my tour in Australia & NZ for what I didn’t know would be my last standup show for who knows how long.

“I got married to my best friend & have a loving partner to continue building my life with.”

Surprise 💁🏻❤️ we got married in the backyard of a house we rented over the summer with a socially distanced judge & a photographer. Our parents watched over FaceTime. Love my Mark & we’re so happy to share this news. Happy New Year! 💗 https://t.co/b4PZr8oBqI
