Police were called to the hotel hosting Venezuela Fury’s wedding reception on Saturday night, with at least one man arrested during what had otherwise been a lavish and emotional celebration for Tyson Fury’s eldest daughter.
Four police cars arrived at the four-star Comis Hotel near Douglas on the Isle of Man shortly after 9.30pm, just hours after 16-year-old Venezuela had married 19-year-old Noah Price at the Victorian Royal Chapel of St John’s.
Pictures from the scene appeared to show a guest being searched by officers before being placed inside a police van. Another officer was seen holding a clear evidence bag which appeared to contain cash and a mobile phone.
The incident unfolded as the reception was still in full swing following a surprise performance from Peter Andre, who entertained the newlyweds and their guests with some of his best-known hits. Venezuela and Noah were seen taking to the dance floor as he performed his chart-topping classic Mysterious Girl.
Earlier in the evening, Tyson and his wife Paris posed for pictures with Peter, who was once married to Katie Price. At one point, the heavyweight boxing champion hugged the singer, before Paris gave him a kiss on the cheek to thank him for performing at the family celebration.
It was not immediately clear why police had been called to the venue. An official at the force headquarters said there was no information to share, while the hotel’s duty manager said only: “We have no comment to make.”
Before the police drama, the evening had been filled with emotional family moments, music and dancing. Tyson, who had walked his daughter down the aisle earlier in the day, gave a speech to around 160 guests and joked that he had enjoyed himself a little too much.
“I’ve had a f***ing very good time, excuse me, Venezuela and Noah,” he told the room. “I told ya, you shouldn’t have done it, didn’t I. But now you’ve done it, you’ve done it. I hope you have 45 healthy children, and a long life of happiness and love.”
The proud father then paid tribute to his own marriage with Paris, telling the young couple: “If you are anything like me and my wife, we are best friends and soulmates, been together all our lives nearly more than we’ve not been together, so be like us.”
Paris also gave a heartfelt speech, describing Noah as “a beautiful, very well mannered, lovely young man” and wishing the newlyweds “a very, very happy ever after.”
The wedding itself had already attracted huge attention, with Venezuela arriving fashionably half an hour late in a lace fishtail gown with a dramatic 50ft train. In a playful twist, she wore black sunglasses and white Crocs, and carried her phone instead of a traditional bouquet.
The bride was supported by 18 bridesmaids, including younger family members and five adult bridesmaids. Among those attending was heavily pregnant influencer Molly-Mae Hague, whose daughter Bambi was part of the bridal party.
After saying “I do”, Venezuela and Noah shared a sweet kiss outside the church as well-wishers cheered in the drizzle. Tyson, clearly overwhelmed by the milestone, told the Daily Mail: “That was my baby in there. You just don’t realise it, families. She’s been with me all my life.”
He later added: “It was beautiful. She’s no longer a Fury.”
Despite the rain, Tyson remained in high spirits and joked: “If we wanted sun we should have gone to Spain.”
At the reception, the boxer took to the dance floor with Venezuela for a father-daughter dance to the Motown hit My Guy, creating one of the most emotional moments of the night before the later police presence cast a dramatic shadow over the celebrations.
The groom, Noah, had earlier arrived at the church in a white tuxedo and black trousers, wearing sunglasses and a yellow rose buttonhole. He was greeted by cheers from villagers as he walked into the decorated church with an umbrella-carrying aide.
Security guards were also seen holding umbrellas for guests as they walked along a blue carpet into the venue, while crowds gathered outside despite the steady drizzle.
But by the end of the night, the fairytale scenes had taken an unexpected turn, with police cars outside the reception hotel, a man being arrested, and questions still unanswered about what had sparked the dramatic intervention.
