A protester has attempted to disrupt the wedding of former British chancellor George Osborne to his long-term partner by throwing orange confetti at them as they left the church following the service.

The woman ambushed Mr Osborne, 52, and his new bride Thea Rogers, 40, outside the 14th Century St Mary’s Church in the Somerset village of Bruton and quickly fled smiling after being approached by security.
